I can't picture this. Has anybody ever done it before?

These are beautiful! I would wash them on delicate in Ivory snow. Also add some fabric softener to the rince cycle. and dry them on med./low setting

I'm really not sure. lol My kids have blankets that are special to them, so with winter here we're covering those up with the quilts. What can I say, my kids are creatures of habit.

Well, since I posted those I might as post all of the quilts I've made so far. The 2 I posted earlier are quilted as is the first one here. The other 4 are just tops. I have 2 more, but the pictures are tiny, so I'm going to take new pictures.

I love all your quilts and tops!! One of my kids always tells me that quilts aren't warm enough. I just had one done with cotton batting and it's really warm!
But to answer your question specifically I have used several quilts at times when 1 isn't warm enough. I love layer upon layer of quilts but that's just me. I'm always cold! :D
I like the idea of putting flannel or fleece on the backs but don't know how to do it, either.

These are all so pretty!!
