I now found directions for making it with two layers of flannel or woven fabric and using a piece of batting in the middle. The first rag quilt I made had 3 layers of flannel. It used a layer of flannel in the middle instead of batting. This would indeed give 3 edges to rag making it very fluffy when finnished. I have never seen a rag quilt with one layer of flannel to be ragged. Are there any instructions online to do it this way? Indeed it would cut down on all the lint.
