Craftykk, PLEASE reconsider! I understand the time constraint with babies and day care but as far as you being a newbie, BaHumbug! This is just the place to practice skills and learn new ones. No one judges you at all! And these littly doll quilts are the perfect thing to practice with. We all have to start some place. I know myself, that I have been inspired to try harder and try new things from participating in this DQ Swap. With May theme being Crazy Quilt, I'm sure you can create something "Krazy" and fun for you including using the rag technique you know. Just remember one thing, and repeat if over and over again out loud.... THERE ARE NO QUILT POLICE!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck with the new babies!
