I understand using regular blankets you have on hand, but Jan is right in that this is an extraordinary amount of work removing the wires embedded in heated blankets. I would suggest garage sales and second hand stores for finding gently worn sheet blankets. As a matter of fact, I just saw a brand new still packaged blanket at a yard sale & haven't been on the hunt for any.
I use batting that I buy on sale or with big discounts but I only buy larger cuts. I cut it down for my project and use all the bits for my smaller projects.
