I'd love to post one if I can get my friend to show me how, not only am I a new quilter, I'm also an internet novice so I don't know things like cut, copy, paste, or attach

Instead of binding a rag quilt, you can add a border with the same layering as the quilt, stitch a half inch from the outside edge and clip to the stitching the same as the rest of the quilt. It will rag when washed the same as the rest of the quilt. Here is one I did for Christmas this year. They are fast and fun to do.

I do 2, 1/2 seams around the outside edge and rag it as well...

You can also finish the edges with a chenille strip that will also rag. Cut the strips 1" wide and stack two of them together. Let 1/4" hang off the edge of the quilt and sew down the center of the strips. You can butt the strips together you do not have to sew them together like regular binding, the butted pieces won't show once they are washed. Clip both sides and once washed, you will have a nice edge. Using different colored fabrics for the binding strips give it a different look too :D:D:D

Hope that’s going to help . I love the way it looks. |
When I make raggy quilts after construction I sew a double seam line all the way around the quilt about 3/4” in. Then I clip it , like all the blocks are clipped.
