Rag Quilt binding?
#4
I snipped my edges. I forget what seam allowance I used for the blocks, but I used the seam seam allowance all around the outside of the quilt when I had it totally assembled and then snipped like the seams between the blocks.

I rag the outside edge of my rag quilts, but I once saw one that had binding around the edge, and it looked nice. I think the lady who made it thought it would make the edge stronger than a ragged edge, but either way is fine.

i've done both= either way is fine & your choice-
personally i prefer to bind mine- but that is just my preference- i've made a number of them with ragged edges- i just after construction stitch about 1/2" all the way around the quilt twice- then clip - they come out ok- i just prefer them the other way-
but it is your project & what ever way you prefer is perfectly ok-

No binding. I just made one out of flannel and it is so soft

I've done many rag quilts and have always clipped and cut the outside edge. Never thought about binding it. One reason I liked doing the rag quilt was that I didn't have to do binding.
