I don't care for flat battings for tied quilts, so I usually use a high-loft poly batting. It MUST be bonded so it doesn't fall apart in the wash. As Moonpi said, the package will tell you how closely it must be quilted/tied in order to prevent that from happening.

My MIL taught me to use sheets inside of tied quilts. She has always used them.
I made 6 tied quilts with sheets. The first quilt I had ever made I made for my DH. He loves to wrap himself up in it. I have washed it and washed it. There is not a rip in it. It has not shrunk or puckered even though it is all cotton.
If my first quilt can hold up to all of that and you like a quilt that is warm in the winter (it gets really cold here) and cool in the summer, this is the quilt for you.

Warm and natural comes on big rolls and is like a pad, meshed together. Joanns has it it available by the yard. I like the one that is poly cotton. It is on sale a lot.
You can buy inexpensive blankets or old ones from thrift stores. Flannel is good. Fleece is on sale a lot, walmart has some as cheap as 3 dollars. This can be used as he back or inside. :D
