It looks great!! I did some rag quilts and that is the most time consuming part....and hard on your hands.

I did 4-5 small rag quilts before I sprung for the snips, and they're great. I also use them to clip seams in regular sewing, and will be glad I have them even if I don't make another rag quilt ever. The last one I made was a queen size with recycled jeans denim on one side and flannel on the other. It weighed a ton and the heavy fabric would have been nearly impossible to snip with regular scissors.

candikhan, your quilt is beautiful. I love the colors and the way you arranged them.

I just watched the tute on Youtube (Missouri Star).
Have everything to make one (or maybe 100 lol) just needed to know how to do it.
Thanks for the reminder- it's so nice!!

Beautiful...love it! Invest in the snips if there are going to be any more rag quilts in your future....they are brilliant.
