I am still debating about how to do this test - this inquiring mind wants to know for itself!

I think if I use a long stitch for the quilting - so I can remove it later - it will still hold the layers enough -

As far as flannels shrinking - I have found that they do not all shrink - and the ones that do shrink, sometimes do so at different rates. The one that did not shrink - it was a 60 inch wide chamois type flannel - it might have shrunk about 1/4 inch in width, and it might have shrunk about 1/4 inch in length (per yard). I was surprised.

I am thinking a 10 inch square might be large enough - although a 20 inch square would probably give a more accurate result.

I think the words "shrink, shrank, shrunk, shrunken" sound funny. Some words just do, to me.
