The flannel from Joannes is super thin. My sister made my sons quilts and the first time we washed them, the flannel backing fell to pieces. There are so many places in them that need repairs now, it just made me cry, the quilts are beautiful and she put so much work into them. She made my daughter one also and the same thing happened but on a smaller scale. If that is all you can afford, then quilt them heavily!!! If you can afford a nice thicker one, go that way!!!
