It would be nice to know the brand and price of the flannel you use. and where you purchase it.
I don't know the brand, but I believe it was $7.00-$8.00/yd two years ago. They were soft brown/peach florals. I wasn't retired and I didn't worry about the price too much then. Now I'm retired and it's a different story. I'll be working out of my stash this year. I saw flannel at LQS for $14.00/yd. this fall.
