**Flannel and cotton together?
Hi Fellow Quilters,
Was wondering if any of you had used flannel and cotton together on the
front side of a baby quilt, and if so, did it turn out okay once it was washed?
Just wondering if the fabrics would shrink too differently if they were pre-washed.
Thanks.

If both fabrics were pre washed, they should be fine. Might want to wash the flannel a couple times as some flannels continue to shrink. Not sure if your last sentence was supposed to be "if they were NOT pre-washed"

I used cotton flannel and non-flannel cotton in the same quilt just recently with no problems. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t248015.html
Both were pre-washed. I agree with PaperPrincess that flannel should be prewashed. I wash it in hot water and watch for bleeding.
