I was nervous - but I had to have the flannel - the pattern and colors were just right...

Best quality flannel I have ever felt or seen. Still looks like new ten years later (has outlasted some of the flannel squares on the top of the quilt), and I usually keep that side of the quilt up because I still like it so much. It has not faded, even though it is a very dark green and the bed has sunlight in a strip across it most days.

I can't speak for all of CT's flannel, but that one was superior (and relatively inexpensive, although it didn't seem like it at the time!!)
