it really depends on how (pieced) the top is, does it Need an extra layer to hide all the seam on the back of your pieced top?
if you do i have used muslin and a lightweight single sided flannel, or you can use an interfacing. if the seams don't show through the backing you do not need the extra layer. the big table cloth i made for my daughter had large blocks on the top and the backing was a print, it's reversable, i did not use a center layer and put it together pillowcase style and quilted it, turned out great. go for it

Is it OK to just quilt the top and backing with no batting? I have never done that, so am uncertain as to how it will look. Should I put a piece of muslin or other fabric in as the batting, perhaps?
Thanking you and blessing you in advance for all your expert knowledge :thumbup:
