Your quilt is gorgeous. I have a lot of flannels that I have been collecting to make a rag quilt. I have never used flannel in a quilt. Since it is supposed to fray after you put it together, do you still wash it before? I am assuming that you would because of the way flannel shrinks.

always wash your fabric before sewing. Fraying on a rag quilt comes at the end after you clip all the seams and wash. flannel is a #1 fabric for rag quilting. i perfer cotton, so many more options and works just as well!
