Rag Quilts
#11
Im in the process of making a rag quilt queen size for my SIL he wanted all blues and denim. I started with 7" sqs using 5" low loft batting about 4/3 done (very heavy), but have managed to sew two rows, then snip, then sew two rows then snip, it makes it alot easier to sew together. I have doubled sewed each row to make sure it never comes undone, it's alot of work but it will be well worth it, as it will be a family heirloom. I have embroiardered his name and the year made, that will be in the center. will post picture when done. top is all cotton fabric.
