I love the Turning Twenty patterns! I have flannel FQs that I'm planning on making into a quilt for my nephew in return for some things he has done and made for me. It has been suggested to me NOT to prewash the FQs because they will not then yield the necessary size for cutting the pieces. When this quilt is sewn and quilted, I will present it to my nephew with instructions to wash in cold water and line dry (in the shade, of course!) Hopefully, this will prevent too much shrinking. Also, since he is a tall young man, I will be using 30 FQs and doing a 5 x 6 set, and also add borders.
