My only quilt using flannel (and I was pretty experienced by the time I tried it) stretched to pieces and was annoying to work with....Good Luck---and I hope you don't have the same problems that I had!!!!
It *IS* soooo stretchy. I really regret my choices. I did finally get my 18 nine piece squares.....as you can tell, not all of them came together perfectly. the stretchy-ness of the fabric made it hard.
My Mom is teling me to put the whole thing together and not to worry too much about the squares not being perfect as it is not a showpiece (ha ha haha..) so I probably will for the experience. and then, back to cotton, and hopefully not making the same mistakes in cotton.
