I'm so sorry for your loss, Carol. What a wonderful idea to use his flannel shirts in a memory quilt. I think you would be okay. Since most flannel shirts are plaid, I think you could get enough of the pattern to show. If you add a cream, make sure to wash and dry twice so it doesn't shrink and distort your quilt.
