I thought it would be nice and snuggly for a little one. If this went well, I was considering doing a larger flannel backed lap quilt for my father-in-law who is always cold. I guess his quilt will not be backed in flannel!!!
Have you considered using fleece for the backing? It's been my experience with elderly people they love the warmth of fleece. I've read others comments about working with fleece and they didn't relay any problems with it. Whatever route you choose I'm sure your DFL will love it.
