I have cut 450 rectangles,(225 of backing and 225 of variety flannel for front) with the accu quilt. So the fringe is already there. Has anyone made a rag quilt that the pieces were cut from the 6 X 7 inch accu-quilt die? I'v sewed all 225 fron fabric rectangles to the 225 back fabric with an X in the middle. Now I'm ready to sew these together. The fringes seem to be 1 inch in, making it necessary to sew 1 inch seams to put them together??? This would make the finished rectangles 4 X 5 ". Is that correct? Seems like lots of fringe (1 inch long all around). Does anyone know if this seems right before I start sewing them together?
Thanks
Sharon
