It is not quite wide enough so I will have to add another row. That is if I can get it back from him. My son and his wife stated that he loves it so much he does not want to give it back. I will be putting the extra row on the quilt sometime next week and making shams to match. I have decided that if I ever do another king size rag quilt it will not be for less than $300-$400. This was a lot of work.

Question- How did you make it puffy and do you have buttons in the center where you tided it?
Beautiful, I love it.

The puffiness comes from the batting. Yes there are buttons. I tied these on.

They are called rag quilt snips. You can purchase them and the fabric shop.

All I can think of is....all the clipping....ouch!!! The quilt is beautiful and I love the country look to it. Make sure to take lots of breaks and give your hands a rest.
