I believe my directions call for a 1" seam for a rag quilt.

Is a rag quilt the kind that has the raw edges of the seams showing on the right side if the fabric?

you got it -- stack top, batting, and backing together usually a square, then quilt the square. When you have all the squares done sew them together, all seams on the right side. clip the seam allowance every 1/2 inch or so, being careful not to clip the seam. wash and dry. edges fray and become fuzzy and cozy. I did 4 for the bunk beds at the cabin that my grandsons sleep in, and I found clipping as you go is better than clipping after it is all put together. Clipping is very boring.
