I am making a lap quilt and using flannel for the backing. I am hand quilting and have to do it quickly. What do you think is the maximum distance apart that I can get away with quilting it. It will be used by an adult. Because of the speed involved it will be basic quilting.Thanks

I haven't tied, but in making quilts with flannel backing, no batting, I just did an X or what ever....in the center of each block. Worked up fast & nothing there to shift around. Flannel is very warm,batting wasn't needed.
