I am making my first rag quilt with flannel, and not using a pattern, so I cut all the squares 8", and batting 7", and have quilted each square. Now I am sewing the squares together in rows. So far, ok. My question is, when I sew the ROWS together, do I open the vertical seams of each row or do I nestle them in opposite directions like on regular cotton when matching seams on each row?? I hope to get this done by tomorrow night, clip my seams, and wash and dry it. Thanks!!

I myself nestle them on either side. I don't open mine.
|
The first one that I did I butted the seams together, the second one I opened the seams, I preferred the second one. Try a sample and see which one you prefer.

I dont have a clue what your asking...
Any chance for a pic so Us-who dont know how to make a rag quilt- can see what your doing??? |
I do like Betty -- nestle them together. I believe it can be done either way. I did try opening them up once; I personally didn't like it. Good luck!

Depends what mood I am in. Sometimes I open the seams and sometimes I nestle the seams.
