Product Description
Matilda's Own 100% Bamboo Quilt Wadding Remnants
Looking for a more affordable way to work with a beautifully soft and sustainable quilt wadding? Our Matilda’s Own 100% Bamboo Quilt Wadding Remnants are a thoughtful choice for eco-conscious makers, smaller projects, and quilters curious about trying bamboo fibres for the first time.
These remnants are created in-house from roll ends and careful trimming during cutting, so sizes will vary — but every piece is made from the same pure bamboo fibre as our full-length cuts. Naturally breathable, lightweight, and gentle against the skin, bamboo wadding offers a smooth drape and a soft, comfortable finish that’s especially suited to summer quilts, baby projects, and delicate textile work.
Ideal for baby quilts, lap quilts, cushions, wall hangings, or testing how bamboo behaves under your needle, remnants allow you to explore new materials without committing to a larger cut. The fibres are double-processed to reduce bearding and remain stable during quilting, with a generous stitch distance of up to 10", making it suitable for both hand and machine quilting styles.
Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic and has anti-bacterial properties, making it a lovely choice for quilts intended for sensitive skin. With a low loft of approximately ⅛+ inch (0.3+ cm), this wadding produces a light, breathable quilt that feels comfortable year-round — particularly in warmer seasons.
Free from resins, glues, and sprays, each remnant reflects the same high-quality construction as our standard cuts. Every piece is hand-folded and packaged plastic-free in our Brighton shop, supporting a more mindful and sustainable approach to quilting.
