The fragrance of an era set long ago, the relic pieces of cloth with which it was stitched and the warmth of layers gave it a distinct character and took us into another world. Not all of us are privileged to have inherited such priceless treasures, but many have tried to make quilts that would measure up. In earlier times, it would have been difficult to know how to make ‘rag’ quilts, but in today’s information age, it is easy to find out ways in which one could make their dreams come true. One of the best materials to create a silky, smooth quilt is flannel. It is possible to make almost any kind of clothing from flannel, as it is fairly lightweight and warm.
