How To Join Leftover Batting Scraps

"What do you do with those strips of batting leftover after you've trimmed down your quilt after quilting? I have even more of those than some people as I tend to buy my batting bigger than the quilts I end up making! So I have learned to join my batting pieces together so I can reuse those leftovers in other quilts, wall hangings or any other qulted project. In my post you will find a Video Tutorial plus written instructions for how to join your leftover batting. Happy Quilting!"
