Kathy, I ended up using Warm and Natural rather than wool. I figured the flannel used and batting would be plenty warm enough. Thank you for your reply - Bevster

I am of the old school about wool. I can't use it cause it gives me hives if it touches my skin. However, in batting it wouldn't be a problem. Question? I thought wool always shrank when washed. How can you use it in a quilt?

Look for the Hobbs brand, washable wool batting. Very nice.

Flannel Quilt ready to be wrapped for Christmas gift. The "pink" is actually red/white check, also used for the backing. Various lengths of each fabric used in the binding.

Do you buy your flannel in stores or order online? I haven't had the best luck finding flannel in the Houston area. I guess it's a little too warm and humid for flannel down here on the Gulf coast, but I have a 17 year old that wears sweatshirts during the summer. :)

That was my first thought too. I have visions of the not so small sweater that came out of the wash in a size that would have fit my 15 lb dog. Uh oh!!

I always order on-line, quality is far surpased JoAnns or Hancock. I have used Debbie Mum fabric and if I can find Moda or another name brand at JoAnns. I ususally find good sales on the net for name brand fabric. I always shop using this website, it goes to over 200 quilt shops.

This particular flannel quilt I used Wilmington Essential Flannel from Fabric Shack.

North Dakota????? Is there really such a place....

j/k, while living in South Dakota that was a running joke to some of our friends who hailed from that very cold state.

I would use something nice and fluffy. I do know they make a thicker batting, but with my machine I don't use it.
