Kathy, I ended up using Warm and Natural rather than wool. I figured the flannel used and batting would be plenty warm enough. Thank you for your reply - Bevster

I am of the old school about wool. I can't use it cause it gives me hives if it touches my skin. However, in batting it wouldn't be a problem. Question? I thought wool always shrank when washed. How can you use it in a quilt?
Look for the Hobbs brand, washable wool batting. Very nice.

Flannel Quilt ready to be wrapped for Christmas gift. The "pink" is actually red/white check, also used for the backing. Various lengths of each fabric used in the binding.

it actualy doesnt shrink up as bad as people think it does. Also makes the quilting pop.

What a beautiful quilt! So colorful, which I love. Thanks for the tip on Hobbs.

Do you buy your flannel in stores or order online? I haven't had the best luck finding flannel in the Houston area. I guess it's a little too warm and humid for flannel down here on the Gulf coast, but I have a 17 year old that wears sweatshirts during the summer. :)

That was my first thought too. I have visions of the not so small sweater that came out of the wash in a size that would have fit my 15 lb dog. Uh oh!!

I always order on-line, quality is far surpased JoAnns or Hancock. I have used Debbie Mum fabric and if I can find Moda or another name brand at JoAnns. I ususally find good sales on the net for name brand fabric. I always shop using this website, it goes to over 200 quilt shops.

This particular flannel quilt I used Wilmington Essential Flannel from Fabric Shack.

North Dakota????? Is there really such a place....

j/k, while living in South Dakota that was a running joke to some of our friends who hailed from that very cold state.

I would use something nice and fluffy. I do know they make a thicker batting, but with my machine I don't use it.
