Last year for Christmas I gave my three small gransons, scrap quilts made from the left over flannel that I saved from making them flannel pants. I backed them in flannel also. They loved them.

I know in WI, they come in handy and I also like putting flannel backing on a cotton front. Helps prevent slipping off the bed and alittle more cozy. |
I have made several flannel quilts. I made 2 with muslin backs and cotton batting, and 2 with flannel backs and cotton batting. The two with flannel backs are the ones that get fought over!

I'm making a flannel baby quilt right now. I'm using flannel for both front and back. I like the feel of flannel. It's cozy. :-)

I have made rag quilts but have you ever made them as QAYG with connecting strips?
|
I make a couple of flannel quilts every year. My elderly mom doesn't care for them because she says they are too heavy on her. My DD really likes them and sometimes I use flannel as backing because it makes the quilt less likely to slide off ones lap. I like them because the are warm and soft.

I have only put flannel on the backs of baby quilts too. But I have thought about using flannel on other quilts.

You're right. They are nice in Wisconsin. I have made two Queen size and numerous lap size flannel quilts. Tops and backs are all flannel. They were hand quilted (outline).
I am wondering if anyone has washed a finished queen size flannel quilt? I'm sure that my washer and dryer are not up to the challenge but I hate to think about a laundromat. I have washed lap size ones and they seem to do fine. |
I made a baby quilt with flannel and then several rag quilts using flannel. They are soft and warm. Unfortunately the flannel baby quilt(given to my daughter for my gb) moved to Florida and is a wall hanging-too hot!! HA HA
