This was my 3rd rag quilt.....I did a denim one made out of squares.....& a horizontal Halloween rag quilt! Learned my lesson on the Halloween one...pieced all my fabric together ....like a normal quilt & then tried to put it together! WRONG! Had to rip it all out & start over! Always do your research first!!!

First, Love it and going to imitate! Second, a little tutorial in the Tute Forum would be great. (Hint Hint). Third, how long are your fringe/rag cuts? Fourth, finished size? Thank you for sharing. This is also a great way to use up a stack of different colored bandanas for a male version of the quilt. You have been inspirational.
