They cut up old blue jeans and it doesn't matter if there are worn places or not. Her theory is they just need to be warm. One time she had me sewing an upholstery weight velour into pieces. When I asked if the fabric was washable her response was it didn't really matter. They do not use squares or blocks just hunks sewn together to her decided size. They are down to about three ladies and she complains because no one wants to participate.
