The quilts that I have finished, five of them have all been sandwhiched with a double layer of a well used flannel flat sheet. I love the feel of the quilt. It isn't thick, but it is warm. I have to be careful b/c some of them aren't easy to hand quilt through. I say go for it, but be cautious about shrinking. Maybe test it first.

I used a blanket that had been washed several times as batting. Never again. It made the quilt too heavy and was rather stiff. I suppose it would depend on how thick the blanket is.

I use old mattress pad covers for some of the utlity scrap quilts, and especially if I am making something for the pets! Uses up something I already have, and it certainly is soft! Also use it to test flip and sew techniques! :lol:

I use blankets (the cheap fleace ones) for the quilted curtains I make to put on the windows in winter to help keep our heating costs down.
