A common topic of controversy and disdain is the matter of the
middle: batting. Many a quilter holds firm to their convictions about
the fluffy stuff tucked between the layers of their treasures. Some
stand firm on the tried but true poly blends and others snub their noses
at anything less that all natural wool/cotton. Novice quilters spend
their time toting home precut bags of fabric-store-stuff, just relieved
it didn't cost too an arm and a leg. Over my years of quilting I have
tried them all..from poly to natural..high loft to low..and all the
stores had to offer- I even quilted a few with straight flannel middles,
and one with a fleece backing. Let's get up close and personal with
what happens in the middle.

I use soft and warm, but have also put blankets in the middle. It's a great way to reuse blankets that are faded from the wash or a little worn out.
Excellent way to repurpose. I have used pieces of fleece but not a blanket..thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
