I have done 2 rag quilts of flannel and the spring scissors are a MUST! It's the washing and drying that are killer - have to stay around and clean up the washer then empty the dryer vent at least 3 times while they dry - I worry about fire and when you wash them they really put out the lint. I have washed the ones I made twice and they were still messy. I LOVE your materials and colors. Think I may try one for myself with the homespun. Did you line it with flannel or anything? Or just had the double layer homespun? Thanks for sharing.

hi rein,
thanks for the compliment.
i don't dare wash or dry rag quilts at home for the first couple of times. i'm so afraid i would clog the drain. i schlepp them to the laundromat :cry:
i used homespun front and back, and cut scraps of batting 1 inch smaller than the squares of fabric. i haven't tried using flannel inside, but i may do that next. i usually have quite a lot of batting scraps.
