Flannel sheets used for batting?
 
Did someone mention they used flannel sheets for batting. The elastic in my flannel sheets gave out and the sheets are still good. Wondering if I can use them somehow in my quilting.

I have used a flannel sheet on a quilt that has a minky backing. Worked out very well.

Many use flannel sheets for batting and for backing. All warm and toasty!

I have used flannel sheets for batting in quilts that I wanted to use as table cloths. When we lived in Florida it was nice not to have too heavy a quilt on the bed and I did use a flannel sheet for a quilt there. I had quilted it and it was and still is pretty nice(getting old, though).

I haven't used a flannel sheet, but I have used flannel yardage for batting.

In the old days when my aunt and grandmother used quilts, they used flannel sheets all the time. I can't see why it should be a problem.

I too have used old flannel sheets for batting in quilts, table runners and place-mats.
Worked great.
