pattern for flannel fabric
 

I have 5 different one yard pieces of flannel fabric and plenty flannel backing. Any ideas of what to do with it? Help is needed and very much appreciated!

Sandy Bonsib has a book of patterns for flannel quilts:

If you search on "flannel quilts" on Amazon, you will find a number of books for pieced flannel quilts.

What I would do is wash and dry the flannel in a dryer at least twice, then starch heavily (1:1 solution of Sta-Flo liquid laundry starch and water) and iron before cutting. Some flannels shrink a lot while others do not shrink at all. Pre-washing and drying a couple of times will even out those differences. Flannel is very limp to work with. Starching before cutting helps you get accurate cuts and also accurate piecing.

Just in general for pieced flannel quilts, it's a good idea to choose relatively large, simple shapes over a block that is very intricate. Log cabin can work well with flannel. If the pattern allows it, 1/2" seams instead of 1/4" seams help ensure that the seams don't fray out. You can certainly use 1/4" seams, but in that case be sure that there is adequate quilting to relieve stress on the seams when the quilt is used.

You can use a variety of patterns using flannel.

Have you thought of making a rag quilt??

thank you for responding!Prism99 and ManaiacQuilter2! both ideas will be explored!

Oh, and be sure to clean out the bobbin area of your machine frequently when sewing flannel. It leaves a *lot* more lint than regular quilting cottons!

Thanks for this link ManiacQuilter2. I have been keeping an eye out for a suiteable "masculine" pattern to use for some flannel too and I got some great ideas here :-)

I like warm wishes. And before I have done just simple blocks of flannel and mixed them all up. Made for very cozy quilt that went together quickly

Sounds ideal for a Take 5.

I made a modified log cabin (larger logs and not as many) lap quilt for brother and SIL--both really loved them.

I was going to make a log cabin quilt and/or a flying geese pillow for my son.
