different batting
I visited my local fabric shop yesterday. The manager and I got to chatting and charity quilts came up. I expressed that I like to make them, but the batting is just too expensive these days. She told me that she made two charity quilts to compare: the first had her normal batting, the second had sweatshirt fabric for batting. After quilting, she could not tell the difference in the quilts. She says that they often have the sweatshirt fabric on the $.99 table. Next time I stop in, I'll have to check that out.
