I want in! I loved the fabrics in the other I Spy swap and don't have much flannel. Yeah, a chance to buy fabric!!!! Count me in. Does anyone know if it's OK to combine cotton (woven) and flannels together?

I'm not the moderator, but I think it would be best if we stick with cotton flannel. Flanellette can have poly in it.

I'm interested in this swap but was wondering if it had to be three fabrics only? I have a lot of flannel scraps from raggy quilts I have made.

I agree with you should be cotton flannel not flannette. Thank you!

Here is what I found on Flannel vs. Flannelette (not usre if this helps or not, cotton flannel usually shows the weave on the back of the fabric)

Flannel is a soft woven, of various fineness. It usually doesn't have a nap, and instead gains its softness through the loosely spun yarn it is woven from. It is commonly used to makeclothing, bed sheets and sleepwear.

Flannelette is a light, napped cotton the texture of flannel. The weft is generally coarser than the warp. The flannel-like appearance is created by creating a nap from the weft; scratching it and raising it up. Flannelette can either have a long or short nap and can be napped on only one or two sides. It comes in colors, both solid and patterned.
