I taught a class once where we used flannel for the foundation, flannel for the piecing on top, and flannel for backing. It was a very nice drapey quilt. Just piece on the flannel foundation, back, and quilt as desired. Since there was no real batting, it didn't require much quilting.

How timely! I just got a box of vintage sheets today at an estate sale, and there were some that are too thin for me to use as fabric.
I was thinking of drawing on them with a sharpie and just trying to teach myself to paper piece or foundation piece. It would simply eliminate the paper part, right? And I like a heavier quilt since I live where it is COLD all the time! Since I have not learned to do it the right way yet, I might as well figure it out MY way. LOL!

I think using interfacing is a brilliant idea, i have used it under small applique pieces, but of course it adds a bit of weight and thickness. I would use a flannel for the batting in a full quilt, especially if hand quilting.
