I had this same felling when my husbands best friend's wife dropped off all her mother night gowns for me to try and figure out how to make a queen size quilt of all that flannel. I had never worked with flannel in a quilt before and I just looked at all them for a few weeks before I could actually bring myself to even cut them into use able fabric. I have never stressed over any quilt as much as I stress out over that one, but when it was all said and done, she loved it so much that I ended up making her a lap quilt to go with it.
Check them out, I posted them here:
