I just used up the last of my old blankets and still have several more quilts to make so I think I will hit up some thrift stores to see what I can find. Thanks for commenting!

Just a little technical correction. When you take old blankets and use them for batting, it's a form of reusing, not recycling. It's higher up the ecological ladder. recycling would be taking the blankets and using energy to remanufacture them into something else. Reusing is more energy efficient, so good for you! and the planet! You could probably buy that sort of thing very inexpensively at thrift stores, since there's a glut of it in the USA.
