After reading all the replys I am sure what ever you chose will be fine. My stash is so large that I am not sure what I bought from where. But after making the puppy rag quilt from Simplicity patterns I chose to wash the flannels as they moved into my home. I have made several of those puppies over the years and they are always a hit. They have to be washed before you give them away. That's when I learned to pre-wash flannel. I had to resew many seams.
