I understand how to make the neat rag quilts, but I am undecided whether to make with 3 layers of flannel, or 2 layers of flannel with a square of batting in between. Any advice or input would be appreciated. I think it would be easier to cut all the flannel squares the same size than trying to cut the batting smaller so it would fit within the side stitching area. Maybe I am just being lazy. :roll:

3 layers of flannel is quite warm, I wonder if adding batting would make it too warm? Another thought is flannel only makes a softer less bulky feel.
AND there is nothing wrong with wanting to take an easier route :wink: :D:D:D

3 layers of flannel will also make a "fuller" fringe, rag, (or as my husband calls it) seam allowance mess! lol
I like the look of the three layers of flannel. and yes it is easier to cut all the same size.
