I've still got 6" batting squares left over from all the rag quilts I've made. I am tired of making those....I'm thinking of making the rag quilt "pillows" as usual and then joining them with crochet. I probably would not have the crochet as wide either. Do you think that would work? Worth a try I guess........ I hate throwing away the left over batting, so always looking for ways to use it.

I started one like hers but put it aside because I had terrible time punching holes in fabric......even With the Project Linus skip cutting blade. Would love to finish it but will await a reply from her to see if she can give me any help.

I used to do this years ago. I haven't thought about it in a long time................

I combine crochet and quilting in a little different way, but I find there is a pointed needle in the notions dept. Usually come 1-4 needles in a pack, has a large enough eye that you can thread it w/ yarn w/ a wire loop, and it will "punch" through fabric w/o problems. I use it to blanket stitch around the edge of the quilt to secure crochet and fabric.

joym......I just found a regular type needle with a large eye to do a blanket stitch all around the blocks before I started the crocheting.....easy to do.....

very interesting. a ne angle on an old craft. love the idea of the crochet. some of his fabs are very wild and the crocheting tones them down some, and makes it eye pleasing. great idea and thanks for posting
