Pieced tablecloth quilt--use batting or not?
#1
I bought this kit for a wallhanging, but when I made it up, it was too big for my wall. It didn't seem that large in the LQS. So I decided I would use it for a tablecloth.
Shall I just put backing on it and quilt it, or shall I use a thin layer of batting--maybe flannel or something--or regular batting. What would you do?

That is very pretty, interesting. You sew lovely. Personally, I'd use flannel or thin Warm & Natural. Then you could use it as a table topper (try diagonal on your table) or a tablecloth.

Depends if you are using it as a decorative table covering, then a thin batting would be okay. If you are using the quilt when the table is being used, a batting may make things more tipsy on top (like coffee or milk) and that's not a good thing. If you're unsure, leave it out and you still have your options open. Really beautiful top. I have a wall big enough for it if you still have a delimma (LOL).
