Have fun with all your fabric. I love to back my quilts with flannel. BrendaK

    That was quite a haul and you will love working with it--esp. during the winter months. Please make something and let us know how it goes. I'm not jealous --I am happy for you! I will admit that I love touching flannel though...


    I'd be surprised that 100% cotton pills. I've been taught it is the polyester in a fabric that pills--all cotton doesn't. So, maybe if someone has cotton flannel that is pilling, maybe it is the batting that is coming through the middle! ?? I don't know--just a suggestion.

    Great haul, i had to work, but decided that I'm going to save my pennies and make the 45 mile one way trip to Joanns next year, by the way, I only wash fabric before sewing if I'm using it for something other than a quilt, Have Fun

    Thank you all for the wonderful compliments and suggestions on the many uses with flannel. I know one major project will be rag quilts, more likely throws, something to put around shoulders or such to help in getting the chill out of the air so to speak. I'm seriously thinking of matching sets of burp cloths and baby bibs.
    Also, I have decided NOT to wash the flannel. Since I will not be mixing it with other fabrics other that what we purchased from Joann's of the flannel, it will be ok. Now, as far as the slightest chance of any color bleeds when I wash the finished sewing projects, I will use the Shout color catcher.
    Again thank you all and I agree, my hubby of almost 28 yrs is definetly a keeper!
