I know someone will know!
I want to make a ALL flannel Rag Quilt. Thing is Flannel will shrink alot! So do I wash the fabric at least 1 time before cutting? Or just cut and sew then wash! 8-)

I recently made one with flannel as the batting and the backing and cotton on the front. I washed the flannels before I cut them. I was afraid of the shrinkage, even though I used LQS flannel. I didn't want to take any chances as it was a special gift.
