I think it would be beautiful .... kinda' like an I-Spy rag quilt. Using only the scrub fabric and 1 layer of flannel will make it weigh similar to a regular quilt. Once you get it lap-sized, you'll know how much you want to do. The great thing about rag quilts is that you adjust the size as you go .... lap size to throw size to full-bed size. I am looking forward to seeing pictures.
