Such a dilemma. I will think of something else to do with this hunk of flannel I have. Thanks everyone for the info.
I live in hot FL. I used 80-20 batt until I discovered Quilters Dream- "REQUEST" low loft cotton batting. Now its the only batt I will use in my quilts! When they are washed they get all 'wrinkled' and soft and so cozy, yet they are light enough for this weather. It quilts beautifully, too.
