Years ago my Grandma made me a quilt similar to the biscuit quilt. She took two pieces of fabric and pinked the edges, sewed three sides together and stuffed it with nylons.She asked the family (big family) to save any nylons that were headed to the garbage. She cut the feet and body part of and just used the legs and would bleach them out in the washing.
Then she would sew all the blocks together leaving the pinked edges at the back sort of like a rag quilt before its time

You could use poly batting to stuff the pockets with.
