I love working with flannels and believe any pattern you like can be made with flannel if you want- flannel makes wonderful soft/cozy quilts. if the flannel is thin pre-wash it in hot water, dry it- that will tighten up the weave. if you have trouble cutting use starch- beyond that- make any quilt you want with it- I've made dozens of flannel quilts- some all flannel, some flannels & regular flat cottons, some with flannels, batiks, wools... here's a picture of a flannel & regular cotton crazy quilt I made for my sister some time ago.. everyone loves this one! I did decorative machine stitching on the top - the backing is a wonderful thick double sided hand dyed flannel. [ATTACH=CONFIG]418957[/ATTACH]
