I think the reason they say you can eliminate the batting is because you will have 2 layers of fabric on the front (from folding the fabric) and the muslin foundation, and the quilt back. If you add in a layer of batting it would be pretty heavy plus I think it would be very stiff. Substituting flannel may cut down on the stiffness and the weight....
I agree that they would make great table toppers and runners :D:D:D
