I agree, if you purchase good quality flannel you shouldn't have a problem. And they make such beautiful flannel prints now.

Maybe the reason flannel quilts are not posted is because there is less variety in the fabric. I agree they are VERY cozy especially in the winter. Thanks for suggesting using it as backing. Also the newer flannels have more variety. Thanks for all the ideas on the QB

My first quilt was a flannel trip around the world, 3" blocks. that is what the quilt class I joined was making. I learned a lot - mainly how stretchy flannel is, and have since made a chenille and flannel baby quilt, but washed everything three times on hot, and dried in dryer. Still, that chenille was such a shedding nightmare. Anyway, I have used flannel for backings and for batting on other quilts and haven't had much problem since I wash and dry it three times.

I made a quilt for my step daughter and backed it with flannel.

i have backed quilts in flannel & given them away, so i can't tell you if they are warm or not. My daughter LOVES flannel pillowcases (so do I), so i've made lots of them. I'm hoping to do a flannel lap quilt this fall for our couch!

Yes I love flannel and often even add it to scraps, also make flannel chenille quilts for my nieces and nephews and babies.

Oh yes, being as I'm from Canada! You just reminded me how nice it is to work with flannel. Its been a while. I love the way they get soft and the antique look after they've been washed. I have one ready to go again. Next project.

We live in Wisconsin..and all my quilts are with flannel backings..for the warmth. I have only made one that was not flannel backing.

I did 3 for Christmas and have one to go.

Yes i love the flannel rag quilt I made for our RV Queen size bed, It is just the right weight. Nothing in the middle. made pillow shams to match but not rag style on those. the fabric is all woodies stuff, bears and elk and so on.
