I make flannel blankets for my grandchildren and friends. I take the two pieces of flannel, right sides together, sew all the way around - leaving an opening - turn it right side out, either crochet around the edges or do a blanket stitch. I don't include any batting or quilt it in any way. My daughter absoluetly loves them. She says they are warm, but not bulky. There has never been a problem with the two layers sifting because flannel clings to itself so well. Hope you try it, they will love you for it.
