I am assuming that they are flannel, and if so, just use a small stitch width so that they hold up well to laundry.

A nice summer quilt would not even require any batting. Just cut them into equal size squares and go for it! With squares, you can also increase the seam allowance size some to help ensure that the flannel will not un-ravel on you.
