This is something I just finished doing. Had a flannel quilt front and back that I had on our queen bed for many years. Loved it to death. The flannel on the top wore out to shreds on the top. Some of the flannels were not good quality. I removed the binding and replaced the top and backing with batik fabric. Quilted it with an over all loops . I used the same pattern for the top as the original. The only thing I miss is my first feather border I did. This worked well but hope to never have to do it again. It is now very heavy. With our cold winters that really isn't a big deal.
