My favorite rag quilt I've made is from Homespun fabric. I ended up giving my flannel one to someone up north who has brittle winters. Once when I was traveling to a quilt show on a quilt bus, I saw a lady using her Homespun rag quilt- and I fell in love with the look. Made one and it ended up not only looking good, but awesome weight and cuddly as well. (I always wash any quilt as soon as its finished. I wash it alone and add a couple color catcher sheets to the wash cycle. I add fabric softener and machine dry.) Comparable to a loaf of fresh from the oven home made bread. Both look good, smell good and give the feeling of a great accomplishment that was well worth the effort!
