rag quilts using regular cotton fabric?
#1
I've made rag quilts out of flannel and homespun. Is it possible to make them out of regular cotton fabric. I'd like to try it, but hate to waste fabric if it doesn't work or if they don't hold up. What do y'all think? Have you ever done one out of quilting cotton?

Yes, I've done a couple with quilting cotton. I used batting but like the idea of flannel. It would make it easier to cut and sew since you wouldn't have to allow for the seam allowance like you do with batting.
