If I want to make a rag quilt, can I just use 3 layers of flannel, instead of 2 layers of flannel & 1 of batting?
Will 3 layers of flannel "rag up" nicely or will it look too skimpy? I want to make some small quilts for the neonatal unit at one of our hospitals. |
3 layers of flannel works just fine. That is what I use and they rag up beautifully!

I just made one like that for a 12 yr old girl for Christmas. Just be careful with washing it, or it will lock up your washing machine. (Ask me how I know)...
My advice, if you make one using all flannel, don't use your own washer to wash it... |
Personally, I like three layers of flannel.

I didn't use batting in mine

You should check with the hospital that they will take them - most want all the seams sewn tightly. The raggedy seams would get caught in the equipment and such :lol:
And they don't recommended raggy quilts for infants because of the lose threads - even healthy children |

I would check with the hospital first, to see what their guidelines are... some may take fleece and others may not :wink: :D:D:D

Thanks all for the info. Will check with hospital first.

I bet three layers of flannel would be really warm too!
