I've made a few rag quilts with 9" squares and 1" seams. Also, I've used standard cotton batting. I'm interested in suggestions for making one for my 5 year old granddaughter such as what type of batting (flannel batting, what is this?) size of squares for a child quilt (age 5), design...etc. I have already purchased dinosaur print fabric and 2 complimentary colors to use.

A quillow? http://www.simplicity.com/index.cfm?...llowquilt.html

hi from Florida, Suanne.
A quillow sounds great to me too. There is a new 'thingy' out there now. Can't remember what it is called. but it's like a quillow, with a pet face on the pillow. Kids love them.
My daughter just bought two for her kids. I've never made a rag quilt, (yet), but it sounds like a good combination to me. :D

Welcome and glad to have you here.

Welcome from southeast GA. You will be given lots of tips and you will see some awesome work from this group.

Hi and Welcome from Northern Indiana ! When I make the rag quilts for the babies I start with squares that are 7 1/4, use polyester batting and sew it together. I don't think they are any real "rules" on what size to make the squares, just what works best for you and the print on the fabric. Post pics, we love oics..LOL
