I made several rag quilts before it was brought to my attention that I should have been using spring-loaded rag quilt scissors.....DOH!!!! I purchased a small and large pair using my Jo-Ann's 50% off coupons. Let me tell you they were like a dream to use on this type of quilt. I have since made two more and not a single blister and no sore hand, wrist or arm either. Your rag quilt is very pretty. I love the colors you used.
