My lqs doesn't carry flannel. My Wal-Mart doesn't carry fabric at all. So I'm pretty much left with Joann's. So far I've been able to find some good soft flannel. But I do have one wonderful flannel panel (Noah and Friends) that I purchased just outside of DC. I'm having a horrible time finding what I want to use as a backing. So I'll be watching your responses for online sources as well.
