I just bought 17 different homespun fabrics for a rag quilt for my daughter for Christmas. I have never made one, but have read many tutorials and feel that it will not be a problem. So far I have cut out 96 9" squares and 48 8" squares of flannel (that is what I am using for the batting). They are all put together, waiting for me to sew the X's for each square. It has been fun so far! I also have flannel to make a rag quilt for my little (preemie) GS. He is doing well and is now 11 weeks old.
