Back, before I considered myself a quilter, I decided to make a log cabin quilt for my bed. It was made of flannel, washing the fabrics first as I was told to do. Never heard of starching at that time. Well, this thing was a nightmare. I found that when making 10 LC blocks I ended up with 10 different sizes. And I backed this thing with polarfleece, and hand tied it. Now I know the merits of perfect quarter inch seams, and accurate cutting. Maybe someday I will make another one, but it won't be of flannel.
