[QUOTE=briskgo;7146832]Just finished a baby quilt, happy except a little to "stiff" is the only word I can think of. shall I just take flannel for the batting next time?

Thanks in advance for any help

It depends on you. I like really lightweight batting for baby quilts and I love flannel because it dries so fast after the quilt is laundered. The only thing about flannel is that it is sometimes hard to find white solid. froggyintexas

www.fabric.com has lots of flannel in white.

I buy the very light weight fleece from walmart as batting for baby quilts. It creates a wonderful drape and is so lightweight.

All quilts I make are quilted on a frame/machine, so I don't know how well it would work when used to quilt any other way.
