I have used flannel and love the weight and feel.
I had acquired some sweatshirt knit fabric some time ago and decided recently to use it to back some charity quilts. I didn't use a batting at all, just the top and sweatshirt knit for the backing. I loved it!
A caution here, make sure you don't stretch the backing too much if it is knit. Just heard a nightmare story about fleese on the back of a quilt, the gal wanted it longarmed. What a disaster
