Cotton appliqued onto flannel
Hi everyone,
Quick question. I'm thinking of making the "Eat, Play, Sleep, Repeat" baby quilt using a flannel background and regular quilting cotton for the words. Would that work, or would the difference in the fabrics make it wonky and ugly? I've never combined the two. Thanks! |
Definitely combine them - the difference in texture will be noticeable enough to emphasize the words, and also give Baby something else to touch and explore.

You should be fine - however due to the fact that flannel shrinks (normally) more than regular cotton, I would prewash
|
I'd make sure to wash the fabric so you will have no weird shrinkage later between the two fabrics. I bet it will look cute.
|
of course it will work- and be wonderful. some of us mix regular cottons & cotton flannels all the time.
|
Thanks a bunch! Y'all are great!
|
Please show us when you have the finished product. I sure will work fine. I would also say to be sure and wash the flannel first.
