I'd say the possibilities are endless, but backing for quilts, especially for kids, a flanel quilt as a throw over your sofa to cuddle under on cold winter nights., a nice lightweight robe for you and your family, just flip through quilt magazines and you'll find something that will strike your fancy. But 199 yards of flannel at $1.00 - AWESOME.

If it is flame retardant... I made a bundle of "crazy quilts" for baby gifts. 2 layers (without batting) is plenty thick ...with batting if you want a heavier padding for under them when they are on the floor. I would think that if it makes up in cotton...it would work in flannel...especially in colder regions.

I'd be using most of that on quilts. Flannel quilts seem to be the most popular in my family and a queen sized quilt takes a lot of yardage. Use biggish, easy blocks and large quilting motifs. For instance, on my first flannel quilt, a queen sized quilt that is currently on my bed, that I quilted large Fleur de Lis by drawing on paper and pinning to quilt, then quilting through it. I used Warm and Natural and flannel on the back as well. I believe I used about 15 yards to make it (my backing was a stripe that was directional so required 3 pieces going down the back).
I also use flannel to back all my tied quilts. That uses anywhere from 5.5 to 9 yards of fabric depending on the quilt size (I don't make crib quilts).

Great idea. Thank you.
