My first thought, also, was rag quilt. In fact, I had 2 smallish pieces of fabric (identical except one blue and the other red) of an odd slightly fuzzy texture. It's fairly heavy fabric and I'd had it for many years. Eventually I bought a GO cutter and a rag die for it and made a nifty lap quilt for my husband. I alternated the red & blue fabrics with squares of denim ... all the old jeans that I'd saved for years; no batting & fuzzy blanket for the backing.
