I wasn't very clear. I have used unwashed cotton fabric for the top and either poly or cotton batting and then unwashed flannel on the bottom. Because the flannel is usually looser woven when it is washed and dried I have had a lot more crinkles than when I use cotton fabrics top and bottom One of my DIL's loves the look. The other DIL, alas, buys high dollar comforters from specialty stores. Interestingly her daughter likes quilts.. sigh...
