Quilt batting can be costly.
Just like what others said, quilting can be a very expensive hobby.
I found this video fromScrap Fabric Love, where she shared 5 alternatives to store-bought quilt batting.

These alternatives are way cheaper than your regular quilt batting.
you could find most of them in your home, thrift stores, or charity stores.
Although they are not the usual, they still work fine in giving comfort and warmth.
Cut off the edges as well if you are going to join it with a different towel.
It will be thin but still warm enough.
it’s possible for you to also use flannel sheets for the batting.
Blankets are also available in different thicknesses.
you’re free to piece them together or just slide them in as they go.
