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.
