sometimes I mix flannels with cottons for a soft touch. and in some quilts for an old look. Also you can put three layers of flannel together , about a 6 or 8 inch square, sew them together, and then sew them all together to make a rag quilt. I made a nice dog pillow out of some camoflauge material, and it looked cool on the porch ad the dogs loved it! If you have scraps of flannel you can stuff pillows and other crafts.
