Fluffy flannel rag quilt- not
I have seen flannel rag quilts having nice fluffy edges. Obviously, this flannel quilt did not meet my expectations despite using high end flannel. The edges are sewn 1/2 inch rather than 1/4 inch.
Do I need to sew 3/4 inch for fluffy? Thanks

I too used high end flannel for a baby quilt I made.......... I too was unhappy with the results. I had also made one with cheep flannel and was much happier with the results. Seems the cheep flannel fluffed much nicer.

I had to wash mine twice before I got the fluffy's Make sure you take it to a laundry mat for the first couple of washing, it makes a real mess in your washer, all those little strings. Pretty, I like your colors.

If you want it to rag more, take a spray bottle with water and a scrub brush. Spray the seams (the ones sticking up) and then work your scrub brush back and forth.
Unlike what we normally want, in this case cheaper fabric with a looser weave will rag (fray) easier.
