I used 100% cotton for the top (as you can see, many different colors). Actually, I sort of had a plan. Since the BR walls are Orange, I used any fabric with these colors in it (or predominantly so): Orange, Turquoise, Yellow, Pink, Green ...
for the back I used Kona Cotton in an off-white (first time I have used this, and just love it!!!)
The batting is: Quilters Dream Cotton ~ thinnest loft (think it's called *Request*) ... now, when I visited the quilt shop again, she said most people use this batting for table runners, and use the *next heavier* for quilts. Glad I didn't know that when I bought it, because it is the perfect summer weight!
Have fun making YOUR rag quilt!!!!
