No Batting?
#2
I make many kids sized quilts from string blocks, the strings are sewn on a netural foundation and that makes them pretty heavy. I feel that adding batting would make the quilt too heavy for a child so I back the top with flannel. May in Jersey

I do! I make alot of these for children. They stand up to a tremendous amount of washing and tugging.
I sometimes worry that batting will tear when they are loading there stuff or each other on them and dragging them around the house. (I have boys)
I also tend to like the look of a tied quilt. It reminds me of the one my mom would make. I also sometimes tie with yarn rather than floss for a different look.

I have made several quilts-most kids quilts-one large lap quilt with fleece as batting and backing, but I quilted with my machine. The fleece is very easy to quilt on (with a machine). I don't sew by hand so I'm not sure how it would work with tying it.

i tie with yarn as well unless i don't have a matching color, then i'll use 6 strands of embroidery floss

I often received quilts without batting from Project Linus volunteers. Most are nice and warm. There was an occasion where a very thin top was married to a very thin backing, and it was not warm enough, so I took it apart and fixed it.
