I have enjoyed reading all of this advise as well. I am in the middle of making my first rag quilt. A friend of mine has ask that I make one for her. I explained to her that I did not know how to do this. She keeps insisting that I make one for her anyway. So I decided to just jump in. I am making my squares 6 inches before stitching. I will remember to stitch 3/4 to 1 inch as suggested above. I will also try to find the clips that were suggested.
chamby :D
