I've made well over 50 rag blankets for seriously ill folks in my community. NOt a one has ever complained about their blanket "not being the best". For starters, I can't afford to buy the best.
BTW, this winter I've made 3 pair of jammer bottoms for me, 2 for my hubby, two each for 3 grandchildren from $2, $2.50 and free flannel sheet sets. Got the green/black plaid on right now. So, what I'd use for myself is cheap! But very usable.
