Have you used our Quilters Dream Green batting before? If you have, how do you like it? I am becoming more and more sold on this batting the more I use it for our customers and ourselves in our sample quilts. There are several reasons for this.

1. It is inexpensive. Because it is made of recycled plastic drinking bottles, the fiber is manmade using something we would normally throw away.
2. It is soft. You may think that because Dream Green is made from plastic that it would feel stiff like plastic.  It doesn’t.  It is soft as any polyester fiber.
3. It adds loft and dimension to the quilting. In the photo of the Aboriginal quilt by Melinda P., you can see the quilting of Anita Shakelford’s pattern “Modern Dew Drops Curved.” I was very pleased with the outcome as was Melinda.

So you see, there are 3 great reasons to try Dream Green in your next quilt. If you quilt your own quilts, you can just buy the batting. It comes in sizes from craft (36” x 46”) for $7.95 to king (120” x 120”) at $29.95. Why not give Dream Green a try?  If we don’t have the size you need, we can order it for you.

See you soon,
Nancy

 

Dream Green is a soft, cozy batting made 100% from recycled plastic bottles! This batting can be machine-washed and dried with little to no shrinkage. Dream Green is wrinkle-resistant. We are quite pleased to be able to offer this to our customers as an alternative to more traditional batting materials.

Each pound of Dream Green Batting keeps 10 plastic bottles out of our landfills. Plastic bottles are cut into chips, washed, melted and extruded into fine polyester fibers. These recycled fibers are indistinguishable from “virgin” polyester fibers yet are made without depleting our precious natural resources. To avoid additional processing we have kept the soft “natural” green bottle color – but you can rest assured that Dream Green is colorfast and compatible to all your finest quilts and projects.
