Libits

I’ve mentioned before in a previous thread that I was going to start using flannel instead of batting when making my quilt sandwiches. It’s worked out very, very well. Yes, the quilt is slightly heavier but I’ll give up the little extra weight for the softness because flannel requires less “quilting” than batting does. And I like the extra flexibility of not being bound by having to quilt every 3-4” or so. (Note: I’m using flannel instead of batting, not backing.)

Anyway, now I have flannel fabric that I need to piece; I’m not talking about piecing 8” strips together but there’s going to be some piecing required. What’s the best way of doing that? Do I zig-zag the pieces together or use a seam?
