I have a rag quilt question....I would like to make a rag quilt using blocks measuring 8 by 12 inches. Flannel for the top, filling and backing. Do I X quilt this block? The directions I have read say if you are using flannel for the filling you do not need to quilt it. Any one have ideas on this subject? I am pretty sure that the layers of flannel would not shift, but I do not want any surprises either. I really enjoy this board and all the different approaches you have to quilting. Variety is truly the spice of life.
Thanks for any help you can give.

I would...But you don't always have to use an X though, I have been known to do a reverse applique in part of the blocks to keep my layers together before! In the blocks I didnt reverse applique I just stitched the same design in them!

Is your reverse applique going to be flannel as well?
