Thanks Farmquilter! By the way I see you are a proud Mom of daughters in the USAF. I retired with 29 years as a proud member of the USAF. Bevster

My current quilt is flannel on front and back. I am using warm and natural for batting. It will be heavy and so snuggly!

my favorite is Hobbs poly-down - a bit more of a loft than cotton, and holds in the heat.

I made a large one for my son and I put a heavy blanket in it and he just loves it.

My flannel quilt is flannel on top and backing. I used a poly batting and it is wonderfully warm. I hand quilted it using a thicker thread (I think it was called "Jean thread") and I made slightly longer stitches. Small stitches and regular quilting thread gets buried in the nap of the fabric.
