Momma also backed one of my quilts by piecing together all my receiving blankets. 50+ years later I still have that one although it's better days have long since passed.
have often thought to do this ,presume too thick to quilt, so must tie??
do subscribe to reuse of everthing if possible, afterall the original quilting ladies did.
