Eventually. You can also make them out of fleece; it doesn't shred just curls. Jeans also are good. I have the accuquilt and cut alot of flannel and sew the squares together and store them away. When I need a fast quilt for a gift I grab them; sort out the ones according to who its for and sew them together. I made one for my grandson to take to school and embroidered his name, the school name and year on it. His mom will want to keep it.
