Many of the flannels I've bought at Joann's for baby blankets pilled and "looked old." It was very hit and miss in quality. They have cute designs. These were the "snuggle" line they carry and often put on sale. that said, Joann's quilters flannel that is more expensive looks good after washing and is fine for receiving blankets or burp clothes. I would definetly recommend Moda flannel when you want to make a pieced special quilt, it washes well and is very thick.
