I did a turning 20 in flannels and it just fits my twin bed nicely. It keeps me toasty warm up here in Canada and I am thankful for the fabrics which were a gift from my quilting mentor. I bought chocolate coloured flannel for the backing so I can enjoy it either way. There is a picture of it on my blog at http://chocoholichill.spaces.live.com/default.aspx

Alway's prewash your flannel on perm. press and dry the same. Iron before cutting being careful not to strech fabric. It will shrink considerably, so make sure you have extra fabric cut for good measure.
I used the Turning Twenty pattern.

Why use flannel when fleece is warmer. For Xmas this year I am making No Sew fleece blanket. Since fleece is 54 wide Just but equal lengths of the same fleece or different ones, even them off and fringe it. I got the pattern on about.com under Collectibles and at Joanns Fabric they had fleece in all types of pattern :?

I'm not convinced fleece is warmer than flannel. Fleece is a single layer of polyester (albeit a thick layer!), whereas a flannel quilt will usually have 3 layers of cotton. If I think of wrapping up in a cozy, warm quilt to watch tv, the flannel will appeal to me more than the fleece --- maybe because the flannel is more flexible and will confom to my curves more closely? :P

Hi - here is a picture of flannel squares and half triangle squares set up in X-mas tree pattern - sorry, don't have a picture of it all put together. sewed together as a rag quilt but can easily be done as a regular quilt!
