[QUOTE=nycbgirl;5192964]Sometimes I will buy fleece to use in a quilt if it's alot cheaper than batting.... And just what is a "sheet blanket"?[/QUOTE
MANY years ago when my grandparents passed away we got two very thin flannel blankets. My Mother always called them a sheet blankets. My sister & I used them as a cover when we took a nap. They finally wore out, but they were so soft & full of great memories.

I bought some blankets at a thrift store, and am in the middle of a five quilt project for my staff.. I gave thm the option of using poly batting, cotton batting, or blankets.. Staff chose blankets.. I think for mine I'm going with the cotton..

Some of us are at a point where we have to make do as much as possible in order to keep on creating. I for one can not buy batting even on sale at this time . thankfully i stocked up on batting a few years ago when things were better and will be able to continue making quilts for now. I do use blankets and layers of flannel as batting in charity quilts.

I read about using electric blankets for batting on here a couple of years ago. So when my electric blanket died I just made a few cuts and tuggs, the wiring came right out. Guess I'd better check my UFO pile, haven't seen it in a while.
