And how!
My DH's grandma made quilts from suiting scraps (which are heavy in their own right!) she got from a factory. I have no idea what she used for batting, but one literally NOT move under this quilt! BTW, she also pieced the backs of these quilts with suiting fabric! I think we still have one...I'll try to find it and post a pic...
