If it's lighter, two layers will give you more of a substantial quilted feel; if it's too light, there doesn't seem to be enough to quilt, it just feels like you stitched a back and front together. Does that make sense?

With runners, there is a little bit of shrinkage but not much. I do machine wash and dry my runners after they have been in use for a bit. They come out crinkly and look more used than before washing, but for me that's part of their charm. If you don't want any crinkly, you could try prewashing (top and backing fabric and whatever you use as batting). You could also try not prewashing and just washing finished runner/quilt on cold and hang to dry. It will probably take some experimenting to determine what you would like to do to get the results you want.

I, too, don't like to use my nicer fabrics as backing so I usually use neutral fabrics I find on clearance or just a solid fabric as they are less costly than prints. If I can find a backing that coordinates with the binding, I'll do that then you have a reversible little quilt.Anna @FreshDewDropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333674941026135120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679814202300541019.post-40990782074913461912023-01-11T20:01:02.586-05:002023-01-11T20:01:02.586-05:00I love it too, Anna!

Do you use a batting, too, with the flannel backing? I like the idea of using flannel instead of my other fancy fabrics that no one may ever see.
