I have made several flannel quilts,too, either in all flannel or variations. I have often used a layer of flannel with the batting for extra warmth. Flannel quilts are so cozy and warm. However, I make sure that I purchase more fabric than I think is necessary since the shrinkage is really considerable. I prewash the fabric so that all the shrinking and bleeding happen ahead of time, and I use 1/2 inch seams instead of the usual 1/4. Enjoy - there is some lovely flannel out there!

I have used flannel scraps in scrappy quilting and crumb blocks. I just made my first rag quilt this week, it's a baby girl quilt- no plans for it, just washed it for the first time, very cute. FUN to do, and would probably try another.
