Anyone Ever Use Flannel for borders/backing?
There is probably lot's of info on the board, but I haven't tried searching yet. I am making a small quilt out of shirts that belonged to my dad and father-in-law. Some of the shirts are flannel and some just cotton. I was thinking about using flannel as the borders and/or backing. Any advice? Thanks

Yes, it's great. If you use quilt shop flannel or Joann's high end flannel, prewashing isn't necessary unless the quilt top has white in it. If you use something like Snuggle flannel, then you need to prewash.
