Cotton with flannel
Would it work to back a flannel top with woven cotton back. I prefer flannel for the back but the print I am looking at that matches than flannels perfectly is only woven. I can picture it the other way around, but am not sure if flannel top and woven backing will work. I found a collection I love at Connecting threads and they have the wide backing to go with, but their coordinates sell out rather quickly so I want to get it now.

i don't see why you wouldn't think it would work- I mix regular cottons & flannels all the time- tops, backs, mixed blocks, mixed cotton blocks with flannel borders, flannel blocks with cotton borders---flannel is cotton too- just softer. I do pre-wash my flannels when I am going to mix fabrics- but beyond that I don't worry about it. I even mix the 2 in raggy quilts - some blocks flannel, some regular cotton...no problem
