I have made a good many rag quilts. I have always used flannel for the middle layer. I was wondering what everyone else uses. And if u put batting in the middle does the batting bunch up after washing. Thanks for your answers. Have a beautiful March day

I normally use flannel in the middle, but have used warm & natural batting. When I use the batting, I cut an inch smaller, but do the X, so that keeps it from bunching. When I use flannel, I cut the same size.
I really think the X stops the bunching.
Good Luck!

I love the Fiskars rag snips!!! They make it so easy to cut the ragged edges. Much easier than the scissors i used to use.
