The quilt shop solid flannel still looks great but the shirt flannel started to deteriorate after a few washes.
Yes, that will be a problem for me to find this quality of flannel for the rest of the quilt. I'll have to wash it all, even though I haven't washed this flannel because they said it wouldn't shrink.
