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.

Yes, flannel makes beautiful quilts, plus they are very warm. Just remember to make your seam allowance 1/2" (not 1/4") because the flannel frays more than regular cotton. You don't want your seams coming out the first time it gets washed. Ellen
