thank you for your answer. I would like to wash it one more time, but am afraid to since the lint. I made it as a gift so I think I will tell her to have it dry cleaned? Or will that ruin it more?[ATTACH=CONFIG]577946[/ATTACH]

I actually do this all of the time, not just when doing a rag quilt...it always amazes me how often I have to change it out due to the amount of lint it catches!

wash, it will always give some lint. that is the nature of a 'rag' quilt. just tell them that. and perhaps give a shaver with it! it's the flannel that is doing that. some are good and some not so good. still, it will be a great quilt!! and it's not ruined.

Same here. I like the fluffiness of three flannel layers. I will never do another unless the intended recipient does the snipping. Too hard on my hands.
