Batting yes or no

[Mydonnabean]

I have a queen quilt top and am using 90" minky backing. I am ready to quilt it and have made my sandwich but it is so heavy that i can't move it. I want to know if batting is absolutely necessary ?

I wouldn't use batting if you are backing it with minkie.

I made a king-size quilt using a fleece for the backing and no batting. HEAVY and very, very warm.

I would skip the batting....the minky is enough.

You don't really need anything inbetween. But, I like to use flannel and quilt just the top to the flannel then use just a few quilting lines to attach it to the minkee. I have done this several times and like the results. It's not heave and is very cuddly. I also wash and dry the flannel first.

If a quilt is going to be dragged around a lot I like to quilt over every seam to secure it. But that could be too much quilting on the minkee therefore I quilt most of it with just the top and flannel.

Thank you all for the input !! I thought that was the case but wanted to make sure i wasn't doing it wrong
