That's what I use! They're perfect for the backing of the quilt.

If you haven't purchased your batting yet, you can get fusible batting. It has a heat-activated glue on both sides, so you can just iron the whole shebang together, and then quilt or tie as you like.

And speaking of quilts, do you have a large Amish population in your part of upstate NY? There have been many Amish families living in St. Lawrence County, and in the past year, the Amish community in Jefferson County has been growing. They have been purchasing the old abandoned farms and revitalizing them. It's nice to see the land being utilized again.
