Flannel with cotton for blocks
I don't particularly like flannel in quilts but I promised someone last year I would make their son a Crown Royal quilt. I washed the bags twice and cut the squares out and then it sat and sat. Now I have to make the quilt so I can make quilts I like. I'm planning on using the flannel in stars, (flying geese) and since I've not sewed with flannel for eons, I'm wondering if the flannel and my regular cotton fabrics will look good together? I know that many board members use flannel regularly so is this plan of mine going to be ok? The block is just a simple star using flying geese and I will use the flannel for the 4" block in the middle and as star points. I would sew my flannel onto a 4" piece of gold/yellow cotton to get the points and then use the cotton in my sashing also. Any suggestions are welcome as I really want this quilt finished and in good shape. Thanks.
