Old quilts made from old clothes were what we used for keeping warm when I was a kid.
The frist quilt I made, I saw was in a craft mag. It was made from old jeans. So I made one for our Queen size bed, I sewed some pockets on top, and a blanket for the bottom and that thing weighed 10 #'s. You couldn't move once you got under it. So I took it apart and made 2 small quilts out of it and the gr. kids now use those when they go to football games.
They tell lme they are warm. :thumbup:
