flannel in baby quilts
#5
Yes I have used cotton and cotton flannel in the same quilt. I also prewash ALL my fabrics before using and didn't find any problems with a different % of shrinkage. Are you doing a project with them at the moment?

Yes, I have made several w/flannel backing. I always pre-,wash the flannel as shrinkage can be significant in some brands. I am currenly making my adult son a flannel topped kit quilt and advised not to wash until top is pieced fully. It seems quite heavy already ( lots QST) so think my backing will be a cotton as this will make lighter to handle when machine quilting.

I have a cotton and flannel quilt in the works right now. The fabrics were chosen by a 10 year old. Flannel is pre-washed, as is the cotton, so I anticipate no problems. It will have both a batting and a fleece back, also at the childs request.
