I've never ragged an entire quilt in one day, but there's a first for everything. :wink:
Here's Caley and Justin's wedding quilt (Sept 13th) and a wall hanging to celebrate their new home. Caley is a horse nut (like me), but doesn't have a horse now. I thought this might help to fill the hole in her heart until she gets a real one. :D Wall hanging. I've had it done for a month, but sewed the hanging sleeve on today.

What a beautiful quilt! I am sure she'll love the wallhanging too!

Karla
Love the wall hanging, and she will also. I have to do a rag quilt some time. They look so comfy. You did that in one day :shock: You amaze me. My friend says she could never do the rag look because she is too much of a perfectionist and would only be able to look at the back side. :lol: |
Both your quilts are stunning!! The colors in your ragged quilt are awesome and beautiful. It truly gives the 'feel' of autumn! I love it!! Did you do the machine quilting on your wallhanging? If so, you did a great job! Congrats on a job well done.

The quilt turned out great! The wallhanging is the cutest. You make the prettiet barn quilts. :D

Tari--oh no--I just ragged it in one day--I didn't make it in one day. I've had the squares cut for months, then the batting, then finally quilted them between craft sale items. I posted the lay out a while ago--and I finished sewing the squares together Friday night. Then I ragged it in one direction yesterday morning. Then after we bought kayaks, I ragged the other half last night. Then I wet and dried it this morning. Phew! :D
Dorothy--I DID do the quilting on the wall hanging! I'm so proud of it. 8) Thanks! |
Love the fall quilt - back as nice as the front!! The wall hanging will sure be appreciated by a horse lover.
|
Gorgeous quilts! You do such nice work Karla. I'm sure the couple will treasure your beautiful gifts.
|
Great job as usual Karla!! I LOVE the fall fabrics!! It came out sooo good! Not that I had any doubts it would from your initial post! :D :lol: 8)
|
Karla-your rag quilt is yummy!!! It makes me want the weather to be cooler Fall days and to snuggle right under. What a wonderful wedding gift-they are going to LOVE it. The wallhanging to great too-you are such a thoughtful friend!!
|

Both are great! I love the rag quilt fabrics :) where did you find those?
|
those are great - love the colors of the rag quilt and the wall hanging is really nice..
|
OMG Karla--that is beautiful! I want to come and crawl under it. I have never made a rag quilt but after seeing yours, I WANT IT!! :D
I think she'll adore the wall hanging too. |
The quilt turned out beautiful!! Great job. Cute wall hanging too! I have only done 1 flannel rag quilt, do you have special scissors for clipping all the selvedges? My hands got so tired when I clipped mine!
|
The are both beautiful Karla, I love the autumn fabrics, I bet your hands are sore after all that snipping, are you going to wash it to fluff it all up before you give it to the happy couple??
|
Karla they are gorgeous. Love the fall colors.
|
A beautiful quilt and wallhanging, I bet she'll love them!
|
Great job! Love the fabrics.
|
This is one of the most beautiful quilts I have seen. Color, style, size
You have excited me to do more than rag bags. might just try this?? After all the other projects I have lined up Thank you for sharing :wink: |
Tigerbaby--I found all of those flannels at a Mennonite shop near me. I only have some of two left--the small leaves is called Autumn Leaves by northcott, and the darkest green is called Christmas something.. by Thimbleberry.
Tari--my grandmother always liked the back of these best too. :lol: quiltwoman--I first saw one of these on the back of a chair at my quilter's house. After feeling how soft and cozy it was I knew I HAD to make one. I've made... hmm..let me count... at least 12 now--mostly to give away. I have the first one I made for myself--my practice one. Izy--surprisingly my hand wasn't sore at all. I remember the first one I ragged--I could do only 2 rows before I had to take a break. I don't know what made the difference. Maybe the scissors? Also--rather than wash the whole thing, I spray both sides well with water and put it in the dryer to get it to rag. I already did it--before I took the photo. It will rag more with each washing. salisaquilter--I wrote out the measurements for the one I do (there are a myriad of options) and saved it, so I can send it to you when you reach this project, if you wish. :D |
Karla....as always...GORGEOUS!
Great job! |
Love the fabrics in your rag quilt--makes me wish it would get colder soon (I'm in California, so that probably won't happen!) Your quilting on the barn quilt is super!
|
Did you hear me gasp? Boy those are so pretty!
How the heck did you rag one side and not the other? |
You are such a "giving" person, Karla. Great quilt. Cool wallhanging. Wonderful!!!
|
sewnsewer--the seams are ragged--and all the seams are one one side. That's the trickiest part of making these the first time... it's hard to remember to keep all the seams (1/2") on the right side. It's the opposite way we usually make a quilt. Oh the seam ripper got a lot of use for the first few. :D
|
That turned out really nice it was pretty before ragging but spectaular now.
|
Both truned out great. Love both.
|
BEAUTIFUL :D
