Default My first rag quilt

I read about rag quilts here and the idea interested me.
I completed my first one for my daughter today.
It is made of flannel and has a denim back. It is a queen size.
I just got back from the laundromat a little while ago with it.
It wasn't completely dry so I finished drying it in my dryer at home.
All that's left to do is print out a label and sew it on.
This will be part of her Christmas this year.
I named it playful dreams.

Thanks! I was happy with how it turned out.
The flannel was a new set of sheets i found at a goodwill store one day. My daughter loves cats, so
she should be quite happy with it.
I didn't add any batting because i read denim quilts are heavy.
This one is heavy when wet, but not unmanageable. Just like handling a large comforter.
I am planning one for my granddaughter next.
