I am envious. Whenever I come across tricot at second hand stores I buy it. It isn't available like it used to be in the 60-80's but I have made a lot of blankets with flannel on one side and tricot on the other. It could be used for whole cloth quilts. They would be more difficult to machine quilt but lend themselves well to tie or I have also hand quilted them on a frame. They make wonderful baby blankets using, again, the flannel and the tricot. Soft, soft, soft. Minky and tricot could work too.
