I have made some totes and baby quilts with this technique. I keep a little box full of 2.5" squares handy just in case I get the urge to make something. It is really easy. If you make a quilt a light weight batting is best. Sometimes if I can find a new flannel sheet at the thrift shop I will use that for the batting. I see that Pellon has batting advertised as the same weight as a flannel sheet. Finding a thrifted sheet is cheaper though I think. Go for it, try a small project first like place-mat. Oh yeah it also makes great Christmas stockings. I add a bit of thrifted crochet doily to the top cuff for a vintage look.
