Robert Kauffman Shetland Flannel (Cloud) - 4 ¼ Yards FLANNEL

This Shetland Flannel in Cloud is one of those quiet heroes every quilter needs in their stash. Soft, brushed, and beautifully woven by Robert Kaufman Fabrics, it’s a gentle, warm neutral that plays well with literally everything. Think low-volume quilts, cozy backings, sashing that lets your blocks shine, or a background that whispers instead of shouts. And at a generous 4¼-yard cut, you’ve got plenty to work with—no piecing scraps together like a gremlin at midnight.

I especially love this flannel for projects that are meant to be used—the kind that get washed, loved, and dragged from couch to bed on repeat. It’s soft right off the bolt and only gets better with time, the kind of fabric that makes you think, you can feel it on the way home. If you’re building a quilt with comfort at the center, this one’s a no-brainer.
