However, the scrub fabric will not fray the same as cotton or flannel but if it;s simply to teach then you might not mind.
You can also use for the centre instead of batting any stiffer fabric that would not move around; a felt type of fabric a decorator fabric... remember how heavy you want it. As a beginner, flannel on the back for softness and scrub on the front for prints would be a nice light quilt.
Hope this helps

I've found that any woven fabric will rag out---------maybe every fabric is not equal, but this is for a RAG quilt and persoanlly, I don't see where the amount of ragging makes much difference.
For one of my granddaughter's floor quilts, I even used double knit which won't fray at all. But I used it as the very back piece so each square had two layers "outside" that did fray. And when two blocks were stitched together, there were 2 pieces frayed, two double knit, 2 more frayed. It's on the floor, not in a show.
