HI...thanks for all the responses. In answer to why no batting...I bought this quilt kit at a LQS and asked if I needed batting and their answer was not really needed since front and back are flannel. Also...as for the bulk..would it not be bulky if I press the seams open instead of to one side???? or should I keep to one row iron one way, then next row iron the opposite way.
As for non-flammable...good question. I will look up the fabric website and see if it mentions anything about it.
I will continue checking back as I "plan" (you know how well plans work out-lol) to start piecing either tomorrow or Friday.
thanks again,
Vi
