DD, probably the safest way to wash a rag quilt. This first one gave me no trouble.....I hope my niece won't have any trouble when she washes it!!! A good gift could turn into a nightmare!!

I agree, very nice and thanks for sharing. I'm inspired to try one this year also for a gift.

I think it will shed only down to the seams. After a couple washings it should be fine. Like old blue jeans. :-)

Your rag quilt is beautiful. I have had the fabric for a quilt for several weeks, but not found the time to start it. You are an inspiration! I am leaving work early today to get started.

Now that's a quilt-a-holic if ever....!

I know,, I'm sitting here with a pile of fabric and a dirty house. I quilted all day yesterday and want to today also. Oh well I think the house will keep another day. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would rather quilt than even Think about house work, and I do, in fact I'ld rather do anything besides housework. I'm glad I had boys, even tho they are grown and gone, we now have two exchage students living with us this year..boys, thank goodness, as long as they can get to the fridge, their beds and the TV set, they are happy ...they even tell me not to worry about it, that it would just get dirty, again!!! I love them! ha :lol:

If you had girls they would eventually get tired of the mess and clean it for you.! Mine did!

I am an empty nester and my husband ould let the roof cave in before he noticed it. My kids weren't very worried about the dirt either, but every now and then I feel the need to "shovel" it out and really hate that it takes me away form the sewing machine.

My hubby only complains if he has no clean socks and underwear, or he stubbs his toe on something. Or if his dinner is more than 5 min away :lol: When I want to get him out of my hair I casually suggest we do some kind of household project. That seems to be some type of secret code, meaning he should go out side and re-arrange his tool shed. This task generally requires most of the day!
