I made this quilt in 2001 - just checked the label - the front, back and binding are all flannel. It lives on my recliner and I pull it over me most winter evenings, so it gets lots of use and washings. There is no sign of wear on the binding. I cut my binding @ 2½ " and the seams were all sewn with ¼ ". I machine quilted mostly in the ditch and added more where needed. HTH
