I had this same question to myself yesterday. I washed up all the flannel I have on had, and was thinking of a baby
quilt pattern I could use. I wanted to use flat cotton for the top but really didn't know how that would go.
thanks for asking the question for those of us who do not know.

I know from reading that after you wash the flannel it can shrink so its important to wash it but I have never tried it. I was wondering if anyone has ever used cotton with flannel? or thought about it?
And the answer is yes, you can use smooth cotton with cotton flannel.
