Normally I LOVE flannel, it's so soft and cuddly, in this particular quilt, the flannel feels like regular cotton, compared to the cuddle soft stuff.
Fair warning to ANYONE working with cuddle soft fabric: it STRETCHES!!! A LOT. I had the hardest time making sure all my corner lined up properly. There are still some spots that don't line up, at all (I'm talking WAY off) and other spots that are puckered where I tried to make it all line up right.
