This is what we did way back when I was a kid and my Aunt and Grandma taught me how to make quilts. We cut up old sheets and it does add another layer. Back then quilts were made with warmth in mind so the extra layer was a bonus. And we tied the quilts so it was not a problem with too much bulk under the presser foot.
