i make lots of flannel quilts. i love making flannel quilts :) they are soft, fluffy, wonderful. everyone i've given away is oh so loved! i always put batting in my flannel quilts, we like them warm and soft (i use warm & natural or one of the dream cottons) i did make one without batting...it just isn't a quilt to me, but lots of people do not put batting in them. i live in Northern Michigan and we have cold snowy winters we like our quilts warm :D
here's a pic of the one i made for my sister.
