Hello to all. I am a newbie to this quilting and have been looking for a place to get some really good answers. It seems like I found it. I am making 2 lap quilts for christmas gifts and don't have much time. I was at the fabric store this morning and since I live in Texas I did not want them to be heavy. I asked them about using flannel and they thought I was nuts. I bought it any way and I guess my real question is if I wash and dry it several times should I also wash the main fabrics to? :?
