Me too, have done around 30+ of these and you can do interesting things by using a different colour/s in the middle layer. Have started to use pink/s for girls, etc. Have also used up scraps by joining them (lapping with zig zag) so you can gets lots of colour combos in the 'shaggy' bits.Did do one with four layers for a 19 yo grandson mostly in plaids, was good but a bit tough snipping the seams. He says he loves it

The two I've done also use flannel instead of batting and I stitch it together this way. The instructions I've seen for using batting is to cut so that it is inside the seams and then stitch the X to keep the batting from bunching up. I like the flannel because I can add another color and texture in the fringe.
