Flannel fabrics... what do YOU use them for?
#11
I used flannel from Joann's for a pieced baby quilt and NEVER again! Maybe it was the quality of the fabric? It ravelled, stretched, puckered, you name it, while sewing. Worse yet, after being used for a couple of weeks, it went all pilly!

I use flannel alot. I make recieving blankets by crocheting around them. I've made quilts with flannel. That one is on my bed now. Jammies. I use it behind redwork so the threads don't show. I even use it instead of batting in quilts. Read recently, probably on this board, to use it in placements instead of batting. I use it as backing. My DS has a flannel robe I made him many years ago. I have one also. I have made flannel dresses and jumpers for myself. That was before the hot flashes.

I use good quality flannel all the time for baby quilts. It's especially nice combined with chenille for a quick, precious little quilt. Wish I could post pix of some baby quilts I've made using flannel and chenille, but alas! I'm too busy sewing to figure out how to transfer from camera to computer! I'm only here now because I had to stop for a quick sandwich. Have a blast everyone! Don't you just LOVE quilting???

I use flannel for the Puff Quilts that I make for baby gifts. There is another under "pictures" with a couple of pictures of the Puff Quilts. They are VERY soft. So soft that my father-in-law had me make him a Golf Quilt. Perfect for napping after 18 holes.
