For raggy quilts definitely flannel! Fleece and minkie do not fray for raggy quilts. I have backed some regular pieced quilts ( not raggy) with minkie- it is very soft-- just not a good choice for raggies

I've made many rag quilts, and usually just use 2 layers of flannel with no batting, but I did make one with flannel for top, minkee for back. I ordered the pre-cut minkee squares, was messy to work with, but came out very nice!

Do you wash your fabric and the flannel before sewing or quilting it. Thanks.
