My grandmother recycled worn-out blankets by using them as quilt batting. If you go that route, you can probably find them at estate/tag sales, garage sales, Craigslist, etc. In California (where I live), thrift shops aren't allowed to accept used bedding.

Ok - I've got some scrappy quilts "in the works" and was wondering what I could substitute for batting. I am just trying to be as frugal and "green" as I can be with these quilts.
I have read that some people use flannel. I was thinking of cutting up & piecing together some old sweatshirts or towels.
Has anyone done this before? Would it work? If not, why?
Aprreciate your answers....thank you!

I am not all that fond of used bedding myself. Yes, I know it can be washed but until you get it in the washer, it is still being handled.
