Thanks everyone for the kind words and ideas.. but I bleeped when I did this quilt. I did not prewash any of the flannel, so now the entire quilt will need to be redone and this time..not in flannel then. I am so glad that a board member brought up the prewash question on this post. So I doubt anyone will get to see the finished quilt.. as it will now look horrible since I did not prewash. First time using all flannel, and I am not a prewasher of fabric to start with. So me being a newbie self learner..I never gave it a thought. Lesson learned..
