Good Luck with your projects!! I think the rag quilts are wonderful with flannel......DO pre-wash (before you remove selvage edges) and dry in a hot dryer to pre-shrink.......DO starch heavily before you start to cut.........I would use larger squares of fabric ( 8 or 9" finished ).......AND - everyone is correct - the most tedious part of these is the clipping. They make a special pair of scissors for clipping these rag quilts........and while you can certainly clip with any scissors, these do make this job much easier (IMHO).........Keep posting pics of your work in progress so we can see!!
