2). I was reading about how to deal with flannel for a quilt - they suggested to starch from the backside before cutting. What do you (or anyone else) think about that?
3). Are there any quirks about working with flannel? Did you use flannel for the larger square? I’m not sure what I’m going to use in the back - probably flannel.

Thanks,
Sandy (again)
Sandy, I'm not Caroline but I love working with flannel. I would pre-shrink it though.
I find flannel very easy to sew on. I've never starched it. Hope this helps.
