I have made several rag quilts, but I can verify that out of the several I've made, 3 of them are still in everyday use. I have the first rag quilt I ever made, and that was in the yr 2000, the other one ,was for my son and his wife in 2001, and , another one for a friend, also in 2001. I switch mine between other quilts I've made, for my bed, My son and his wife use theirs on their bed daily, as well as my friend dose as well. I've washed mine several times, have never lost a stitch and I have Grans that play on my bed as well. My son and his wife, needed a couple of stitches in the binding about a yr ago, but it still looks as soft as when it was first made, not flattened out at all. And they wash theirs frequently. My friend said its her favorite because it washes and fluffs right back. So they are durable, and easy to keep nice. These where the first ones, but I've made and sold others. These where all queen size. I've done smaller jean+flannel, and they still are in use.
