Why do people make quilts with flannel?
 

I know flannel is soft and cozy and I use it for jammie pants, but quilts? It pills, it is a lint magnet in the wash, and it's more loosely woven than quilters cottons, which means it will wear out faster. Just wondering what the appeal is, especially when cotton quilts are already cuddly and cozy.

because flannel makes a cozy snuggly quilt as well

Because people gave me flannel scraps.......

Good reason!

100% usually doesn't pill. they make great raggy quilts, they feel warmer. and people like it for backings on baby quilts. I made one coz I got it on sale at 1.00/yd.

I have my first D9P quilt which is made from flannel - I've had it for at least 7 years and I use it a lot - when I watch tv as it's a lap quilt. No pilling, no attracting fluff/lint - I love it.
I made a flannel quilt for my granddaughter before Christmas as she always grabs mine when she's here.

personal taste.....

Use good quality flannel that doesn't pill.... it is my very favourite backing for a cuddle quilt...

Some of us live in the North country and need a extra warm quilt......:D:D

i'm using flannel on the back of my current baby quilt because it has the print/design that's perfect
