I would complete it as you are now. Put on boarders, make it larger than you need it to be. use batting (cotton) then wash after its all done so it shrinks all at once.

That is such a cute quilt. I love the monkey fabric. I used some just like that for a baby quilt. I can't add anything that hasn't been said. Keep us posted.

Glad you are feeling really positive...look forward to seeing a pic when it's finished.

I am making a rag quilt too. I didn't pre-wash the flannel, but I started putting inside already prewashed flannel. I used scraps of left over washed flannel. Will this create a problem with my rag quilt. I made the squares instead of 6 inch like my patterns, 5. So if the flannel shrinks, I should be okay shouldn't I, I did 18 squares, I really don't want to undo them, but I would rather do that then ruin it all. So, my question is will it work with used flannel. Otherwise, I will cut up flannel and add to it. Thank you.

This is a flannel quilt I made and didn't prewash. it has batting and didn't really shrink. I think it depends a lot on the fabric you use.

Nice. I am using not washed flannel. But worried about putting pre washed flannel in the middle? Its a inch smaller. Do you think it will look okay? so one is pre washed, and the other one isn't.
