Having made several rag quilts, I suppose it might hold without the x in the middle, but doing the x provides
the 'quilting' so that when it is done, it is also quilted. It has to be washed a number of times to get the frayed
look, so I think the x would insure that the flannel in the middle won't bunch up. Just my suggestion.
