Yes. I have a WIP that is cotton. I started it a little over a year ago. My SIL (live2teach) has made them and LOTS of raggedy purses from regular quilters' cotton. It works great. YOu can use batting in the center or flannel. If you use flannel, it give it an extra layer and more of a "frayed" or "raggedy" look.
