I like blankets for batting. I Just finished a warm wishes quilt and needed to cut threads & finish up. It was on my lap while doing this. Quilt was so warm and soft. yes I will continue to use old blankets washed with cheer and clorox2, dried on medium. Heard from the recipent baby lays on quilt looking up at waving trees. Turns out nice and fluffy-better than todays batting which is so thin (what we use at community service) and not soft, kind of stiff. Don't like the stuff.
Goes through the machine fine too, by the way. I quilted it on my Viking-no problems--at least with the machine, but sometimes was the quilter (me). :roll: :roll:
