Snuggle flannel has a looser weave than the quilter's flannel. As such, it has more shrinkage and will wear out faster. I use it to tie quilts, but I have noticed that over a few washings, most of the colors pill rather badly. Some colors do not which tells me that the different dyes can also affect how well a fabric lasts. I personally would not use it for a quilt that I quilted - it just isn't good enough quality to put that extra effort into.
