Here are 4 of my puff quilts. I always use flannel.

I recently made a flannel "rag" tote bag out of quilted squares in blue and yellow. It turned out great. It took several washings to get it all fring-y. I like the shabby chic look of it.

One of the first quilts I made (1966?) was a puff quilt. When I moved to GA I gave it to my DB in Indiana.

I sometimes use them for backing if I want it to be a nice cozy quilt. Most times I use them to make receiving blankets I donate to a local hospital for newborns in need.

I love these! How are the puff squares made? This would make a beautiful baby quilt, which I have to make two of this year. Can you post a pattern?

I used it only once for a backing. I bought it because it had dogs on it.

JoAnn's quilters' flannel is nice quality...I used some in a T-shirt quilt a few years ago and it made up into a very nice quilt. Later on I found the same flannel in my LQS.

I LOVE flannel! That said, I will say that I'm kind of a flannel snob in that I only use quilt shop quality flannels like Moda. I probably have as much flannel in my stash as I do cottons. I make a lot of large (almost twin sized) throw-sized quilts and love them because they're so soft and cuddly. I live in CO, so it can be cool at times year round. I love flannel for baby quilts, too.

The cheaper flannels, however, are too thin and are hard to sew with which I learned the hard way a number of years ago when I bought yards and yards of some cheap sale flannel at Joanns. If you want to use flannels, I'd suggest investing in good quality flannel.

Hi: I use flannel and fleece together to make easy and comfy quilts. The flannel is the front (can be either one panel or pieced together) cut to any size you want. The fleece is cut 1" larger on all sides. Lines are sewn at intervals (5-6" apart) from the flannel side and once sewn, the fleece is folded over the flannel and becomes the binding. I hope this makes sense! I first learned this from an older Sewing With Nancy series and have since made many.

I also use flannel to make chenille scarves. Our sewing club has fabrics swaps and give aways and I just landed 4-5 yards of a cotton/wool flannel that made two beautiful scarves. I never would have used it for a quilt, but it turned out well as a scarf!
