I don't really think that you need batting. My daughter made throws before with flannel and she just put them right sides together and sewed around the sides, turned it right sides out and tied it. She used lightweight flannel and it was fine. I've heard of others making flannel quilts without batting. Good luck, Frances

I just finished the top for a flannel throw for my hard-working hubby to snooze under in the evenings. I used a kit and the flannel is wonderfully heavy weight. I bought matching flannel for the backing. We live in Central Washington state so we don't normally have very cold winters. I don't want the throw to be too heavy so I'm wondering if it needs batting. I plan to tie it with Perle cotton or quilt it with Big Stitch quilting. I would love suggestions about the batting issue.
