rag quilt question
 

has anyone made a raq quilt bigger than lap size?

Not me. ��

Yes, several that were twin size

I made a full size and it worked great.

I have made several that were twin or bigger. They work great just take a bit longer to make like anything else that size. My biggest was about the size of full or a bit bigger.

I made a double / queen size.

Sure, most of mine are at least queens. I have had to take a couple of the big ones to the laundromat & use the big triple loaders. I take them outside & shake them like crazy before washing & check, empty the lint traps in the dryer every 15 minutes.

I've seen full size and larger. One was made with old jeans. At a quilt show there was a large one made in the shape of a turtle. lots of possibilities.

No me. Just realize they tend to become heavy quilt with the layers of flannel. If you make one larger, REMEMBER to do the first wash at a laundromat, they have much larger pipes than homes do.

I made one for my daughter not quite big enough for a twin bed, but larger than a lap quilt. She loves it, it was easy too. Had some squares left over, decided to make one for me (still in the UFO stage though).

The last few I made were queen size. I used the Go rag die. I can't tell any difference in weight from a regular quilt using cotton fabric and batting.

Yes, I made one for each of my granddaughters beds. I don't think they are hugely heavier than a "normal" quilt of the same size, just take longer to dry after washing.

My sister who passed away last year always made KING sized ones. I think her blocks were 12 inch.

I have made a couple that were queen size.

I guess I am wondering why the question. Do you have a question about size? Weight? How-to?

Yes I made twin sized for each of my 3 grandchildren and my sister made a king sized one for her son.

I made a king size. Homespun on one side, flannel back and flannel for the batting. It is not heavy. Laundromat for 1st wash and dry. I used varied sized pieces....squares and rectangles with the biggest square being 12". Practiced my FMQ in each square before I pieced them. Gotta' admit, some of the FMQ is pretty bad but no one notices....lol
