I began with rag quilting, I normally used flannel for the middle, never any issues with anything coming apart- and now I find that they are much easier than regular quilts!

Thanks for everyone's help. Barb, I took your advice & figured out the yardage using graph paper - worked great.
Sooooooooooooooooo the fabric came today & guess what? Only 1 piece is flannel & the other is cotton. 10 yds of each!!!! OMG what a DOPE!

Do you think I can still do a rag quilt with one side flannel & one side cotton?

Actually, if you are going to put a batting inside, I like one side flannel and other side cotton.
I had made a rag quilt which I combine flannels and cotton. I had matched the fabrics back and front. I ended up with way too many block, so use the left overs to make another quilt. I added a couple yrs of cotton, the separated the fabrics so I would have all cotton on one side and all flannel on the other. It is still a really warm quilt.
