flannel quilts
#12
Welcome, sidmona. I use unbleached flannel as a backing for bedquilts and I hand quilt - it's lovely to work with! I absolutely agree though that you MUST pre-wash because it can shrink a lot! Ironing yards of flannel is not the most fun job in the world :? but if you have a tumble dryer, another lady on her - Pam - recently posted that a quick whizz through the dryer gets the creases out. Can't try it myself - no dryer!

Flannel is very forgiving if your seams are not quite meeting, but definitely prewash all the flannel. It will shrink quite a bit. The pattern you picked is a good one---if you ever want to do a flannel quilt with triangles though, be very careful as it will stretch.
