My first rag quilt...don't know if I'll do another

rag quilt
Everyone says that rag quilts are fast & easy...I'm not so sure...my first one was even made with strips...but Oh, how I struggled. It's fully reversible and directional so that was where I had to sew and rip and sew and rip. Then snipping the seams was not fun...I'd bought a pair of spring-loaded snippers which definitely helped but I bought a cheaper pair and paid for it after snipping about a third of the quilt and having to "reset" the snippers after every few cuts...if I ever do another rag quilt, I'm buying a higher quality pair. Also, no one had ever prepared me for just how much lint would be produced in that first wash...Wow!. With all that said and done, I am pleased with how it turned out and gifted it to my mother-in-law for Christmas. Hope you all enjoy seeing it and have more fun making rag quilts than I did.
