I do a lot of quilting using wools! I love quilts made with wools & flannels best. I've never had anyone complain about them being scratchy. I always prepare my wools for quilting; wash in hot water with detergent regular cycle, rinse in cold, toss in the dryer. Take out promptly to avoid wrinkles. The wool fabric is then ready to use. I usually do use a batting too, usually a dream or Hobbs wool. The black 'Backyard Gathering' quilt, which is wool applique on black, double sided flannel has a black batting from Hobbs and wool backing. I wound up making (3) of them for customers... Fabulous quilts! But, having a big White cat they were not well suited for my house. They were laundered when completed, before the pictures and came out great

I tried to tell him that but he said no he wants it has the backing. I guess his dad finds them at thrift stores and what not.

Isn't it funny what people ask for when they don't quilt themselves!!!!!
