I’ve always used a good quality double sided black flannel for my background with wool appliqué for large quilts. Wool yardage is as much as $60 a yard. I love stitching my appliqué to the flannel and it makes a really nice quilt.
fabric.com is one place to purchase wool yardage if you really want wool.
i use wool for small projects. I made (3) different { Backyard Gathering) Quilts like the one I showed, all on flannel with flannel backing too.

The project I want to do is by Erica Kaprow called "Everythings Blooming". I like the fact I can do a square at a time, so if I don't complete the entire quilt I will still be happy. My question is the pattern calls for 2 yard of black 100% wool for the flower background and borders. I don't no where to by wool by the yard. I saw one place that sells it but I am not sure exactly what to buy. There are different types. The one I am interested in says "merino wool". Can you or anyone out there help me find this so I can get started? I am excited about my new hobby and I am glad I found the Quilting Board
