bookmarks? I am making them for Christmas presents at work but but they seem to be to thick. Guess I need to know how any of you do yours. :?

Paper pieced or traditionally pieced, they will be thicker than paper. I don't think you would want to use batting, just quilt the front and back together :D:D:D

What about a piece of flannel inbetween?

Flannel sounds like a great idea!
