Bev I forgot another solution.. My Grandma used to take old blankets.. She would do the top and then used an old blanket as the batting.. Then use one of her sheets for the backing..
She was always buying up old blankets at yard sales to use as batting... She would even buy tons of clothes at the yard sales too..She would go on the last day and offer them 50 cents for all the clothes that were left.. They became her peicing material... I can remember the days when she would only have maybe $2.00 in a quilt because of that :lol: Thinking about this brings back alot of fond memories.. My Grandma was a very thrifty woman...
