Flannel Rag Quilt Question
#1
I have been making my first flannel rag quilt. It now measures 50 x 51". How much does flannel usually shrink when washed? I want to know about what size to make it end up for a lap quilt? Thank you.

Funny thing about the rag quilts I've made, they actually didn't shrink much. I didn't prewash my flannel either. I sewed two layers of flannel together and put an X through the square before sewing them together. Once they were washed they frayed out but didn't shrink enough for me to notice. Good luck
