I love that wall hanging!! Just be sure that you look at the grain of whatever you use. Some battings stretch one way but not the other. You want to make sure it doesn't stretch while it's hanging, especially with the flannel. The hanging is just adorable.

Looks like you have enough advice about batting. Just want to tell you how cute it is!

I often use flannel when I don't want the thickness and puffiness that the others can give. It'll help you get some body into it. As for no quilting, please reconsider this, as the quilting will help to hold the layers all together and stabilize the whole thing. Even without a batting, your backing and front will not hold still.

You've got a lovely wall hanging that you'll want to enjoy for years to come. Finish it up, so it will hold the test of time!

Don't see why you couldn't use flannel for batting. You should do a little quilting in it. I would hang nicer and keep it's shape.

Yes, this is a good idea.....and I think it needs some quilting as well, even if it's only around the white squares and along the outside edge. Otherwise it will not even look like a quilt :-)
