    I made DH a flannel rag quilt and LOVE it. I am actually the one who uses it most. I don't think it's too hot and the flannel is so nice and fuzzy against the skin. You could use a third layer of flannel as batting to cut down on the thickness.

    I made a quilt for a friend here out of flannel with poly batt and it came out perfect. We're running air conditioning 10 months out of the year here, I was running mine on Monday cause it was hot. The flannel is super cozy and soft.

    We have one poofy, flannel on both sides, comforter (purchased) that everyone wants on their bed. They love using it right up until one of the cats spots it, they can not resist curling up in the flannel. Flannel attracts cats like no other fabric. If they want to use it, they must share with Bruno and Miss Kitty! We all like sleeping under it because it is warm and light weight. It has polyester batting.

    I just made a flannel large lap quilt. Flannel top bottom Hobbs 80/20. All I can say,, sure was heavy. That batting is thin, but when you get everything together. Wow! I did try to find cotton back, but gave up. Guy material is so hard, to find.
