Finished the quilt this weekend. That sucker has got to be the heaviest throw I've ever made. It has to be a good 50 pounds. Thankfully, I have a lovely, large vintage Singer that was able to work through it, though I'm sure she called me a couple of names in the process! Now to snip and take to the laundromat. So glad I can finish it for the family before Thanksgiving. I matched my seams like I would on any other quilt, but I'm unsure I should have done that. I was given all the flannel squares and batting to make a smaller, hopefully, simpler rag quilt and I'm going to look more at those directions. I think I did something wrong somewhere, but I'm just making the fringe now and will be happy to give it to the recipient! This is not one of those quilts I would be happy to keep. That doesn't really happen very often.

I might make another rag quilt someday, but it won't have denim in it. I'll probably make another denim quilt some day, but it won't be a rag quilt.
