Fine for me because I always clean out the dryer vent - she does not. So decided this was not a good type of quilt for her.

Now I don't know what to do with the flannel I still have.
Can you make a quilt with this fabric ?
And if so, is there a better type of block that should be used ?

Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Flannel is great for baby quilts. But I sew with a 3/8" seam. Log cabins or rail fence work great.
