Would a very thin fleece blanket work?
I'm looking at starting my very first quilt and want to keep it cheap and easy ... I have some sheet jersey that I think would be nice as the base layer but haven't a clue what the Swedish for Quilt Batting would be!

Haven't been to the good fabric shop yet to investigate but I'm sure I read somewhere that some people actually quilt just their tops onto fleece blankets alone ..... (possibly not here, I've been googling!)

My first attempt would be a small panel or lap quilt ... possibly several of these to be joined together later if appropriate. I would be hand quilting in the Stitch in the Ditch format around my paper pieced hexagons ....
