Does the cotton fabric fray nicely without fraying clear to the seamline?
Such beautiful work. Including a story book with each one is so sweet - what a nice, and clever, grandma!

I'm off to buy my flannel tomorrow. What an inspiration! Yours are by far the best rag quilts I've ever seen. Simply perfect.

Such lucky kiddos.

Thank you for the nice comments, everyone! You made my day.

I am a beginner in quilting! These were projects 2-4. They are very simple. The most time consuming part was cutting the squares and placing them where I wanted! I really starched my flannel first and the squares in layers of three were easy to sew together--no sliding! I used a $15 pair of Fiskars snips for the seams and they worked perfectly! I snipped as long as an hour and a half at a time and my hand did not hurt.

Someone else asked about the cotton and how it frays--it doesn't fray as rapidly as the flannel, but it is still really cute. It still looks plenty "raggy" with the other layers of flannel. I just couldn't find the colors I wanted in flannel.

Did you prewash the flannel before making them? Very nice!
