Wow Eddy, I do so love your quilts, but then I've always loved the quilts you make, they are just gorgeous :D :thumbup:

Were your squares 6" finished or cut at 6?
Did you sew an X in the squares?
Thanks.

Nursie76 - I cut my squares 6" and then sew an X in the 3 layers of flannel. I do not wash my flannel first.

Thanks.

I have a bunch of variously shaped denim pieces that I was thinking of using for a crazy quilt. What if I just use the little bit wider seam and let it rag on it's own? I know it won't be as 'effective' as the clipped squares, but think I'm going to give it a try.

Do you have to clip the squares on a rag quilt? I made my son a quilt out of his expensive Jenco jeans when he wore the hem down so badly, he could no longer wear the jeans. I did not clip those squares, but was I supposed to? How much of a difference does clipping make?

Denim works, too.

When you use 3 layers of flannel, do you just use 3 layers of all the same flannel pattern? Or do you use something else in between?

Candace

Use whatever you want.

You can use whatever you want for the center flannel layer. I usually use white, but you go with a solid color or print, as only the ragged edges show.
