Type of binding for a flannel baby quilt??
OK, I did get the top pieced but before I buy the backing (will use same RK flannel) what do you use for the binding? Flannel or cotton??

Flannel is going to fray more quickly than a cotton binding. Also, to help match the extra stretchiness of the flannel & because it's a baby quilt that is likely to be washed a lot, I would cut the binding on the bias.
Cute quilt!

I have a hard time mitering the corners with flannel binding. I would see if I could find cotton. But as suggested maybe a single layer of the flannel for the binding would work.. I will have to keep that in mind for my own quilts
