Yes, a rag quilt is a "real" quilt, and yours are very pretty and colorful. I have made a lot of rag quilts as gifts, and I think they are used, and enjoyed as much as their"regular" quilts. They are a more personal size, and I can't tell you how many times I have seen the grandchildren wrap up in them on a chilly day..............and by the way, aren't they fun to make ?
