Brainstorming

Hi everyone :) I am a beginner having so much fun with this new hobby.

I am planning my next project. I would like to do a quilt and use it as a bed headboard. I don´t want to spend much in materials yet. So I was wondering...

A nice cotton for piecing. But, could I use a towel as batting? or maybe a fleece blanket? Thick polyester batting? Or maybe no batting at all? Should I quilt it entirely?

Thank you in advance.

I very much appreciate this group.

:)
