Really nice fabric as is the flannel I ordered for the backing. I am really tempted to use it even though it is heavier weight. I am going to appliqué a 30" moose head in the middle of the camo so the front won't be cuddly anyway but the back with the flannel will be. Would you suggest I use it or order more suitable fabric?
It would work out fine~

Our idea of "suitable quilting cotton" has been sooooooooooo limiting!

Way back when - men's suit material was used a lot in quilts! that is definitely heavier than our "quilting cotton!

So are the jean rag quilts.
