Love these beautiful rag quilts.....one thing I learned when I made a "raggy wagga" (Aussie version of rag quilt). That is: stick to simple quilting i.e. all x's or hearts or whatever....the more complex your design the more the three layers shrink up....I did some x's and went nuts with spirals on some of my other squares...then you either have to trim some or cope with some mismatched seams...Like everyone....I learn more as I go. Your fabrics look terrific...look forward to seeing your quilt.
