Have considered no batting and that might be the way to go. Have you put one together with no batting and did it come out ok?

I am mentally planning my second one as soon as I get a couple of baby blankets finished in the coming week. I really enjoyed making my first string quilt and see many more in the future. Might try a color pattern next time around but who knows. Thank you for your response. Ellie
How about flannel instead of batting if you feel that you need something? I'm planning to do that for a coverlet for my son who lives in Southern California and can't use a warm quilt.
