They look lovely! I like making rag quilts too. It took me years to find 'rag quilt snips.' Have you heard of them? JoAnn's sells them and boy do they make all that snipping a lot easier! I have only made them out of flannel (with batting in the middle). So warm and cozy. We always have at least 3 of them in the family room to snuggle under in the cold months or in the air conditioned summer home! Most of ours I've made from leftover pieces from other's!!!
