I just made 5 rag quilts. I did a 3/4" seam even though the pattern called for 1/2". The first one I saw had 1". I've never seen 1/2" but here's a picture of 3/4". I clipped to 1/4". Be careful when you are clipping it. Don't over-do! It got my carpel tunnel acting up from doing all the clipping. It hurt for a month! :oops:
I'll send you a PM with tips and information that I learned.
i love your poem. your quilt is beautiful. how many layers of flannel.
