Hi, I'm new to quilting and am making a rag quilt for my son's girlfriend. I don't know where to start cutting and not sure how much fabric to buy. I'm making a throw size and have ordered some fabric from The Cotton Loft Oct. 16th and still haven't received it. Has anyone ever ordered from there? They said their behind in orders.
Also any suggestions for cutting fabric for the Rag quilt I'm a little nervous to start.

Love your idea about machine basting your batting pieces together. Do you just zig zag the pieces together? I am glad that I saved pieces of leftover batting from quilts I have made. I love saving money!

I don't know what to tell you about how much fabric to buy. I used scraps on my latest one. My squares were 7" and I used 6" batting for the inside. You can make them any size you want to. My quilt ended up being 90 squares (9 X 10) and is a nice size lap quilt. Hope this helps!
