Default Making a quilt with wool or wool blend material

Hi there!
I hope the wonderful members of this board will come again to my help; I just don't know what I would do without you!
I've got a request from a customer who would like to have a quilt made with fabric from her grandmother. They were supposed to make a quilt together with this fabric but she passed away before.
The fabric is either wool or wool blend. I have experience with wool batting and even with vintage wool blanket (this fabric makes wonderful batting for potholders!). But I have never used wool or wool blend for making a quilt top. Does it behaves like flannel? Would I be able to quilt it on my longarm? I also think my customer should run some testing on the fabric to make sure the finished quilt would be washable. Any recommandation about how to rewash and dry the sample?
Thanks!
Annie
