Default First Rag Quilt
My gand daughter's birthday is coming up and her Birthday Theme is U of A. So, I put a rag quilt together for her. I'm a new at quilting and this is my first rag quilt. I used flannel and the finishing product takes a lot of work, cleaning the lint off, is there a technic for it? I used a Navajo rug like design, this design reminds me of my mother's rug design. I'm a Navajo Indian and I want to incorporate our Native designs in my quilting. Top design[ATTACH=CONFIG]309594[/ATTACH], Bottom design[ATTACH=CONFIG]309595[/ATTACH] and a closer look[ATTACH=CONFIG]309596[/ATTACH]

Great job....yes, lint is a problem. I line dry and go over the quilt with the crevice tool on my vaccuum.

Fabulous! I did a University of Michigan one! I think rag quilts are perfect for sport themes! http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t152774.html

Be sure to clean your dryer very well, lint can cause a fire.

It is beautiful, she will love it.
