Hi all -- I'm a newbie to this forum, so forgive me if this is an old, old question.
I'm making a quilt for my 2-year-old granddaughter, from flannel, backed with flannel.
Question>> What to use for batting? Do I just use my faithful 80/20 blend, low rise batting? Or do I need something special?
Thanks!

I am about to make a quilt from a Frozen panel and flannel on the back. I plan on using a low loft batting in the middle of the sandwich. I have only done one other flannel quilt and used the same batting I usually use which is 80/20.
It seems to have worked out just fine.
I used Warm and Natural & it worked out fine! Welcome to the forum.
Thank you for the reassurances! My deadline is Jan. 31, so your timely answer is really helpful!

Evonne, You will find lots of help here and smart, helpful people. I'm not one of the most helpful, but I did want to say "Welcome"!
Be sure to pre wash the flannels. Welcome to the forum!
welcome to the forum from Massachusetts.
Welcome! Can't wait to see your finished quilt!
Welcome from North Carolina!! I've not done any flannel yet but I will follow along to see how it goes for you!,
I've done some fleece and that is quite linty in the machine/bobbin casing, so I'd suggest you check now and then for a need to vacuum out the areas that get lint collection!!,
Merry Christmas!!
Welcome to the forum. I make rag quilts for my grandkids and use warm and natural. My oldest GS he's 7- loves his quilt and drags it all over the house with him. That thing is do darn heavy I can barely carry the thing. I made it large enough for an extra long twin, provided it lasts that long. It's full of wilderness and bears as his nickname is bear.
