Homespun Rag Quilts
#11
This is really interesting. I love osnaburg, but have never used it as a batting. I can see how it would fray well. CrazyAunt, If you are using it as a batting, and it frays well, then you must be sewing it into the seams. Are you cutting the osnaburg the same size as the fabric squares?

I was just thinking about the color of the osnaburg and how pretty it must be with the homespun. I love the color of osnaburg and I'll bet having it in every square gives the quilt some continuity. I like the idea of the light weight of it, and will absolutely have to try it.

If you have a local Hobby Lobby they sell a good selection of Homespun fabrics. Here in Broken Arrow it's $2.99 a yard and usually 30% off that price too. It's usually a loosely woven plaid and comes in all price ranges with Hobby Lobby being the cheapest I've seen so far. If you type in Homespun fabrics on your browser a lot of online stores are available most with instructions and pictures too.
