You can use old jeans in the center and that frays real good, but it will be heavy and really warm.. Another thought would be old cotton t shirts. It wouldn't be as heavy as the denim. these are just thoughts. I'm sure whatever you decide to do your quilt will be very nice and comphy. One hint cut the fluffys seam in a v and that makes it fluff nice. enjoy your quilt Grace

I would NOT use any thing that could be washed .... How are you going to get it rag out without washing ??

Old cotton tshirts is a great idea! I have a bunch with stains on the front that I was going to throw away. great idea.

I have used old jeans in the middle for warmth and flannel on the bottom to make it soft and comfy it ragged out, felt and looked good i washed the flannel a couple times 1st

yeah, I know Annie. I guess what I was thinking is that if I use the blanket in the middle layer, and quilted it real good, it wouldn't matter. But I don't want to waste time and other fabrics and make a mess and be dissapointed
