Ok all you experts...
what is the best combination of backing and batting for a flannel quilt if I want to keep it light. I don't want to make it look like I skimped, but if I back in similar fabric, it would be so heavy, wouldn't it? And what about batting - I just picture a quilt so heavy it would suffocate the poor little guy under from the weight.

Should it be tied? Wouldn't that be lighter than quilting? Can it be one of those flip inside out things to finish? Never worked with flannel....

thanks...it is about 90 today, so I think I will plan and wait until the heat wave breaks, so I have time to work it out :)
