May I make a suggestion on quilting. One of my relatives made a baby quilt for my oldest out of flannel. Really nice. And it was used a lot and loved a lot. But, everytime I washed it, I had to get needle and thread and restitch seams.
My suggestion is, on quilting it, if you have a double sided blanket stitch, please stitch over every seam. That way every edge is caught. Otherwise, everytime it's washed, there will be some fraying on the seams.
I now own a serger, so every flannel quilt from here on out will be serged!
Your last sentence was what I was going to say. I have had the same experience. The other thing to do is to use a fancy stitch of some kind and go over all seams. I also make 1/2" seams when I do flannel quilts.
