I used a flannel sheet in my son quilt

Thanks for asking about this. Now I know that I can put it between the two babies' quilts I need to finish one of these days.

Me too. I've been putting of doing the quilting on the quilt for my new granddaughter because I couldn't decide which batting to use. Think I'll go ahead and use flannel. It should work well since they live in California.

Why not? I have used flannel as batting before, it definitely gives the quilt a different feel, soft and cuddly, you just don't want to quilt to densely! Sounds like an economical practical and "green" solution.

You have no idea how happy I am that you asked this question. Making a twin quilt for grandson in florida. That will work perfectly!!!

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Another example of "what's old is new again"

That's the reason I like to use it too.

Thank you everyone for your comments! I didn't realize how "normal" it was to use flannel inside. I'm looking forward to saving some $$ by not buying batting, and reusing something. Also thanks to those who put the quilting tips in; I hadn't thought about how dense or sparse the quilting should be. Can't wait for it to be finished!
