"FLANNEL RAIL FENCE" Pieced by Melissa McGill Quilted by Tammy Stoll for Robert Kaufman Co., Inc. Finished Quilt Size 67 1/2" x 67 1/2" Planning... Our cozy flannel quilt can be whipped up in no time with strip-piecing methods. Fabric requirements and cutting instructions are based on 44" wide fabric. Some manufacturers are marketing 54" and 60" wide flannels, so less fabric will be necessary if you purchase wider cloth.
