I love making memory quilts out of clothing. I have made several & am working on two now. I use anything the people give me. The lighter fabrics I put a fuze able webbing on the backs to make them heavier. I also use old blankets & mattress liners for batting & sheets for backing. I get all these at yard sales & the good will. I cut costs where ever I can. Everyone I know saves all their denim for me & I have made & sold many denim quilts. I have even used bed spreads for batting & if they are like new, have used them for backing on the denim quilts. So, just about anything is do able.
