Yesterday I purchased fabric for an ALL flannel baby quilt - for my FIRST grandchild :-D Have previously only made a flannel rag quilt, or used flannel for backing. Now, a book I have on flannel quilts says to use a 1/2" seam allowance due to fraying.
I prewashed the fabric, and it did fray quite a bit -- but it wasn't cheap fabric ($8.00+/yd) If I use a 1/2" seam, wouldn't I have to cut my pieces 1/2" larger to make the pattern work? (pattern is NOT from the flannel quilt book) It seems to me that once it was quilted, fraying wouldn't be an issue. What are your experiences? Thanking you in advance for your expertise :thumbup:
