I used batting between 2 layers of flannel on this top quilt and it was washed once to start the ragging. It turned out really nice and WARM! Which is what was needed for these cold midwestern winters!
The second photo I used 3 layers of flannel, which is still very warm, but not as 'heavy' for a toddler to sleep under. The 3 layers of flannel ragged a little nicer, but I don't think the one with batting was too bad.
