Flannel Precuts
I purchased (spur of the moment) a stack of flannel 5" charms. After having them at home and thinking about it, I realized I probably shouldn't have done that, knowing that flannel shrinks and precuts are difficult to prewash. I needed to make a baby quilt and found them again and decided to give it try. I used the charms to make (all unwashed)9- patches and alternated with large squares. I used up a bunch of different scrap pieces, so it kinda looks like a I Spy quilt. The problem now is how much quilting will be enough to hold the flannel in place and minimize shrinkage as much as possible? I have done the SITD around all large blocks and deco stitching across all seams between all 9-patch blocks. On the large squares I have various fmq outline pics for a little boy...boats, dragons, bikes and such. Do you think that will be enough to secure the fabrics? Do I need something inside each 5" square? The batting requirements are 4-6, so that is taken care of.
