i am making rag quilts for my three great-nephews for christmas. i plan on using just two layers of flannel to make them a little lightweight so they could use them in the spring and fall without it being so heavy. anyone else done this with just two layers? next question - i have a lot of flannel and was thinking of making my parents and mother in law each rag quilts using flannel and cotton. questions - would it work just with one layer of flannel and one of cotton and reverse it for the back so it would look kinda like a checkerboard. or should i use two layers of flannel and one of cotton and then reverse it for the checkerboard look? sorry this is so long but i am really anxious to get started - vacation next week and i would like to have them all sewn together.
