One year we chartered a bus to a quilt show and one of the women brought along her rag quilt to snuggle under as we traveled. It was made using Homespuns! I fell in love with it and made one from Homespuns as soon as I got home! I still love it! It fringed nicely with a finer type of fringe. Just a different look. I'm in Fla and the flannel ones tend to be too hot. The Homespun is just right!

I think I've ordered all the Studio one's as well. Some I've received and waiting on rest.
You can do a Take 5 using these Studio Rag dies which I can hardly wait to do so.

This is awesome! I had wanted to do a rag quilt with batiks, but when asked, most said it wouldn't rag... well look at yours.. they rag!!
I'm going to make my own now. I love batiks and have a boat load so this will be perfect!

I washed it after I made it and it makes it rag better. Wash it again and it will look even better than after the first wash.
