While at the Joann's cutting table, a lady had a nice fleece being cut. When I checked it out, it was a poly felt, the craft stuff. I know! I know! Felt is usually very stiff but not this piece. I was so surprised. I actually thought it was a piece of Warm and Natural.
I might get a piece later, wash and see how it goes.

I buy batting on the bolt sometimes........I like the one that is mostly cotton with just a little poly........less shrink..........I use old and sometimes new blankets in my quilts that are for winter use. You can buy some cheap ones at walmart. at christmas abt 5 for a full. I'm always looking for the flat sheets.........available at thrift stores or garage sales as they outlast the bottom
These are out quilts to use......the ones for show, we follow the "rule" somewhat lol :wink:

I too use blankets. They don't pile or separate, and they are easy to quilt thru. I use sheets for backing if I can match color or want a particular pattern. The kids blankets I love using kid sheets.
