A little math:
4 button-down shirts + 2 fat quarters + 1 pillow case = quilt top
1 old bath sheet + 1 piece of baby flannel on hand from the days of making crochet-edged baby blankets = quilt layers
Pre-made binding from Jo-Ann + Mom visiting = quickly-bound quilt (thanks, Mom!)
Quilt top + quilt layers + binding = sturdy baby quilt to be auctioned off for the elementary school

Oh that’s a great project! I love to see people using old fabric for layers in between the top and bottom because I am pretty sure that batting wasn’t always available to people in the past and many quilt were probably made with older blankets for the layers. In a quilt I have failed to finish for two years I used some cotton flannel someone gave me for one layer and thin batting I had for the other layer and it’s nice and heavy. Now, if only I could face binding the layers together!
