I have used good flannel for so many quilts and they have all held up well. And I make quilts to be used, baby quilts and quilts to keep on the end of the couch to pull over us when it gets chilly. I made 2 quillows to take to the Charger games back in 1999, then I used shirt flannel and they are still very in great shape. They get used more indoors now than outdoors.
