Flannel Quilt Idea
I'm planning a flannel quilt, and have been reading about the stretch and shrinkage that might occur, I really don't want to prewash it (love all the intense colors) and starching it is also not my desired method. So.......What if.......
1. I backed the quilt with regular cotton. Would that stablize things, or just create more problems?
2. If I have a border, and add an internal border (2" wide) would that help the quilt to keep its shape?
3. If I quilt it really good (not too tight, but tighter than usual) will that keep things plumb, or should I just plan on a wonky shaped quilt (over time) if it is ever washed?
Sure would appreciate your input and experiences.
