Also you can use any size of batting for rag quilts and they are so easy and fun. All the babies in our family have them and so do all the bigger couch potatoes. I usually use 8" squares of FLANNEL fabric with a 6 inch square of batting but you can use it any size as long as the batting is two inches smaller than the fabric. Rag quilts use 1 inch seams. Then you pile fabric right side down, the batting and the fabric right side up. Sew a seam from corner to corner, then from the other corner to corner to form an X in the block. Your block is done. You sew all your blocks together and into rows. When you like the size, Sew a double seam around the whole outside. Then rag your quilt. That is to make slices about 1/4' in apart on all seams including the outside edge. Wash two or three times cleaning out the lint filter A LOT. When it looks raggy enough it is done.
