I'm going to make the Lady Bug one. Probably not out of fleece, however

so if the fleece doesn't ravel, do you have to snip. does it look better if you do snip?

I've made several rag fleece quilts & are loved by everyone. They are so soft & warm but not real heavy. I use two layers & snip them just like all other rag quilts.

I was surprised it ragged so well. The snips kind of curl, so they make a bit extra body.

Yes, the pattern is designed to snip.
