So, my hubby is always cold, and I'm thinking of making him a flannel quilt with wool batting. The idea is still sloshing around in my head at the moment, but at the moment I'm thinking of doing something simple, probably a Rail Fence, in 8" blocks with a 6" border.

I've never sewn flannel before, but I've learned here that it shrinks, so I'll wash it as I usually do, and I'll probably use a smaller stitch than my usual 2.5 to prevent fraying and such. I've also never used wool batting, so that will be an adventure. And for the record, I plan to quilt it myself on my DSM.

Any words of advice???
