I buy scraps of fabric bundled together when I go to Goodwill. I take them home and wash them. Some of them are very interesting. I like to make dolls, and I find the older cotton prints especially suitable for Raggedy Ann type dolls. Almost anyone can make a simple quilt of plain squares.
Most quilts look good, no matter how simple.
You don't have to have special equipment to put it together. You can buy some fabric for the back at Walmart, or use a sheet. Batting can also be purchased at Walmart, or you can use an old blanket between the layers. A blanket will make it warmer and thicker. Pin it to your floor, and take some yarn and tie the layers together in some of the squares.
