I'd be interested in how QuiltE sewed hers together for a cover. Did you zigzag or make a seam and how was that finished? This other idea is taking a lot of time--certainly a work in progresssssssss.
Good idea to crochet them together. I would think that would work up pretty slick!
No, I have not made a cover with them ... what I did say was that I have used fleece as batting.
However, why couldn't you do it either ways you mentioned?
A seam would give some "ribbing" kind of like the rag quilts that people make.
One side ribbed, the other side seamed.
You could then fringe the outside edges if you wanted.
Zig-Zagged? I think I would make sure there was a good overlap, and not just have them meet and join. The trick there would be to keep the overlap even as you went along, but it could be very effective too.
Good Luck!
