pattern suggestions please
I have a Kansas Troubles flannel fat eighth bundle that I want to use. I've only used flannel once before and it was difficult even with starching to keep it from stretching.
I am looking for a pattern that doesn't have small pieces.
Thank you

I did a search on Google. See if there is anything that catches your eye.

I would certainly look more towards a scrappy pattern especially if you are using a fat eight bundle:

I use flannel for rag quilts. I just finished 3 of them. I now have to get to the laundromat to wash/dry them. I didn't have trouble with stretching, but I sewed and "x" in the middle of each square prior to putting them together in the quilt.

i used flannal for d9p quilts for grand daughters two years ago and for two row scrappy quilts i made them last year. no atretching. just sew carefully, flannel worksup dofferently than quilters cotton fabrics or batik

I usually prewash flannel because mine is rarely from a single mfr and therefore likely to have differing rates of shrinkage. If it is from a single mfr then that might not be an issue. I've not noticed stretching to be a problem with flannel - maybe because of the prewashing???
