Can I use a good cotton fabric as the backing for a jean rag quilt :?: :?: :?: I have never made a rag quilt before. I know that the jean fabric will make a heavy quilt, I want the backing to last. Do I have to put any type of batting in it :?: :?: :?:
This group is great when it comes to quilting. :lol: :lol: I love looking at all of the quilts that has been posted. :lol: :lol: |
No you dont have to.....But if you want a cold winter quilt yes you CAN
I have learned from here you can do what YOU want, and how the quilt is going to be used. Gawd I need to get working on MY quilt I know Joannes has a double pair of the nippers that are spring loaded they are awsome. |

This is my pattern. It's no longer an active webpage, because someone contacted me and said I copied theirs. :roll: I had never even SEEN theirs, but it's better to give in than be sued. |
My mom makes tons of jean quilts backed with fleece. They're wonderful winter cuddly quilts and my kids adore them.

Thanks Cathe--it was helpful for me to see how to cut the jeans up.

Thank you everyone that posted a reply. My son wants a king size for his bed, so I don't think that I will line it with batting. I don't want it too heavy. The fabric that goes on the back is red with horses on it.
Cathe, your tutorial really helped, I enjoyed looking at all of the beautiful quilts and other items that you have made. Did you use a pattern for the lighthouse quilt, I love lighthouses. |
