I am sure you will get lots of compliments when you wear it.
For most of my jackets, I don't put any batting or flannel in them. I put the rows of blocks on a foundation fabric (stitch and flip). It makes one less layer so less bulk. In this jacket I used some silk that I had had for years for the foundation fabric (I know. It's kind of a sin to use silk that way, but I'd had it forever and I'm trying to use up stuff I have) which made it really soft. I'm with you, I don't like the bulky look.
