Do wall hangings really need batting?
#1
I've made a dresden plate with ties, and put (too stiff) interfacing on the foundation, then I quilted a starburst. If I also put stiff interfacing on the borders, why would I need batting? The binding would be wierd, but would that work?

I have seen wall hangings without batting. I have also used fusible fleece or something like that to put as a substitute for the batting and then use no backing. Just a thought.
