Have you heard about the easy way to make a pinwheel? Take a light and dark 6 inch sq. facing each other. Sew all around the outside 4 sides. Cut the each way on the diagonal. You end up with 4 1/2 sq triangles. set them up dark light dark light. Bingo a pinwheel.

I haven't made a rag quilt yet, so I'm not sure. From what I've read, people usually do not pre-wash flannel for a rag quilt and in that case you also would not use starch. The starch is really helpful when you are piecing a quilt out of flannel; keeps the edges from distorting and allows for very precise piecing. With rag quilts, you don't have the need for precision piecing so starching could be over-kill. |
