I've made alot of rag quilts and the favorites are when I only use 2 layers of flannel or brushed homespun that feels like flannel. I usually cut 4 inch wide strips of various lengths, (keeping 2 of the same size together) and sew together with an 1/2 inch seam allowance. Babies love them. You can make them any size. If I do squares and use batting, I always use cotton batting and X them.
