hmmm...seems like the recommendation of the majority (including myself) is not to spray baste, at least not right sides together. Like someone said, more than one way to skin a cat... and methinks the cat prefers not to be skinned at all. Just be very sure to wash that flannel batting in very hot water - maybe several times - because flannel often shrinks more than other fabrics, and a table topper will need to be washed frequently.
Another way to make this would be to go ahead and quilt as usual, but use a facing on the edges rather than binding or birthing. I can't think of any real advantage to this method, just giving you more options.
