I thought of fleece too, but I think that would be too hard to sew evenly because it stretches so much.

I'm looking for something really simple to teach my DIL to sew, and want to make a simple quilt that won't cost much. I'm fairly new to quilting myself, and don't know how willing to learn she is (she seems pretty resistant to most things I share).
I have tons of ALL SORTS OF FABRIC. The rag blanket I'm working on right now is light weight recalaimed drapes and corturoy. To maintain some consistancy the sections are all drapery/sheeting/corduroy. I flip the pieces over so I've got drapery/cord/drapery/cord.....................

I'd suggest to use flannel on the backs of the scrubs, and scrubs on back of he flannel.
