My first rag quilt I made, I ddn't prewash, but after reading info on the washing, I prewashed for my second quilt. Now on my 3rd quilt, I didn't prewash, as I was back to reading about those who do not. Oh boy, I'm so confused! lol
I too was waiting in line with my flannel, not as much as you for sure. I must say, I saw some that I had used in a quilt about a year ago. The tan flannel thats mottled. I bought some. When I brought it home I noticed (what I usualy notice in the store) Well...the quailty is lesser than a year ago. I think it will be ok though....however. I would not wash this flannel before..nope nope. Its just not stable. I think you will be borrowing trouble. Add to that the fact that flannel shrinks more than regular cotton fabric I think you will be asking for trouble.
