I just finished three rag quilts. One with batting between two layers of flannel, one with cheap flannel between two layers of flannel, and one with just two layers of flannel. They are all soft and cuddly, but I think the one with just two layers of flannel will not not provide very much in the way of being warm. I think my favorite of the three is the one with cheap flannel as the batting.
