If you are using flannel from old PJs, wouldn't the fabric have been washed while they were being used? I'm confused. Was the flannel made up of unworn PJs? That would make a difference in what to do with the backing.

Purplemem. good for you , I need to lose at least 50. Once the eye surgery is done and healed I have to start my walking again
that's how I lost before then stopped walking and it came right back.. eating didn't change just sitting on my back side did it.. :thumbdown:

DO NOT WASH YOUR TOP BEFORE QUILTING AND BINDING!!! you will have a horrible un-usable mess.
you can use flannel or regular cottons for the back- the shrinkage is going to be minimal since you recycled fabrics that have been washed many times already. the batting you use and the density of the quilting will dictate the shrinkage of the finished project
