I'm making a small (very small) wall hanging. It's raw-edged applique with lots of tiny little pieces. (I guess I'll post a picture.) I'm thinking I want to use the top-stitching as quilting, but I want a thin batting. Is there any reason I shouldn't use flannel instead of traditional batting? It won't ever be washed, so shrinkage isn't an issue. I just want to make sure I'm not committing myself to a disaster. It's from a kit a friend asked me to do, and let me tell you, it's been a bear. (No pun intended.)

I just Toni Whitney..and her patterns...one of my FAVE designers for sure...
this thing is less than 10" finished, so flannel, even if you fused two thin pieces together would be just fine for it...you need it lie very flat for any quilting you do...
