you do not normally Pre-wash your flannels when doing raggy quilts- you want the fraying to happen after the quilt is finished. if you are concerned about pilling cut a small piece off from your yardage & wash that to see what happens-
generally thin- one sided flannels pill, heavier- double sided flannels do not.

I just rec'd my rag quilt die in the mail yesterday, $33.00 on amazon free shipping...anyhow I can't wait to make one an also wondering about the flannel fabrics. I also saw some people use cotton for the rag quilt. I like how I can add batting in the middle. Think of making a king size quilt hoping it will be easier then quilting a regular one.
