    Man I would love to find a bargain like that , since I like to make quilts for our soldiers, and I back them with flannel or, any other warm soft cloth in dark colors. So maybe use them for quilt backing. Baby blankets also or any quilt that you want soft and not to bulky. I make them without batting which makes them warm, but light enough to pack a carry around. I'm sure you'll make good use of it. Good luck. Hope you got plent of storage space.

    I've heard some folks use flannel instead of batting for a light weight quilt.

    I would make some stuff for donations.

    I'm making little pouches filled with rice that you can microwave for warmth with some good flannel.

    You are so smart, I read a lot of your comments. Making chenille out of flannel sound like a lot of fun.

    I can refer you if you PM to me. I have no connection but it's a local lady I found and she is willing to ship if you pay for it. She does have a PayPal account for her Etsy business which is aprons. Let me know.
