Might be hard to quilt, I did it the easy way to start with.
Many years ago we were square dancers, me with the full, full
skirts with masses of sparkling zig zags on it. When we quit
I still had several, so cut each skirt in two, hemmed them and put snaps on them, and lightly quilted them with muslin backing, no inner batting.
Family who got them as presents loved them!! I still have one of them left for myself...somewhere in my stash!!
