Finished Rag Quilt this Morning. Yah...; )
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]371214[/ATTACH]This rag quilt was a lot of fun to make. the block size is 8 1/2 - love that no binding is needed, once you put the last row on its done...I used up so many scrap batting pieces. So glad I found a use for them and I did not throw them out. Now to figure out what to do with the scrap minkie pieces. My next to figure out if I want to piece together a backing for my sons quilt of do something with all of the scraps I have and clean out sewing room...agian.:)

Oh my, this looks like something I could just curl up in and spend the day! Love the colors too!!!

I love your quilt! Lately rag quilts have been my favorite to do! I actually finish them in a reasonable amount of time!

that is lovely hon.!!!

Best.Rag.Quilt ever with all that minkee!

Though ... I would wonder if your son would be impressed with a scrappy minkee quilt in pinks! :)

This quilt is for my sons first daughter...He is getting a Cat in the Hat quilt...he is like Mom...you need to finish mine...; )

very pretty!

It turned out beautiful! The coming baby will love it, I'm sure!

love your colours...

nice

It's gorgeous! Was it hard working with the Minkee?

Best rag quilt ever!!! Great colors........it must be sooooo soft :)

That is such a pretty quilt great work. My DD sent me a photo of a rag quilt and ask if I could teach her to make one, she really does love them. I have never made one but guess I will now.

It looks soooo comfy cozy!!

When I see Minkee I think "soft" I love the feel of it but hate sewing it.....it's too mushy. I hope you put lots of stitches in....I can see her dragging this around everywhere. It will need lots of washings.

Minkee is really easy to sew...no issue except the amount of lint it left in my sewing machine and on me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]371271[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]371275[/ATTACH]good thing I get free once a year from my sewing machine dealer for 10 years...it needs it...good thing I keep the bobbin case out and cleaned it.

So warm and cuddly looking! Love this!

My first thought in using up small scraps is to make raggedy scarves. Maybe cut them into 3 1/2 in. strips and randomly sew together. If long enough tie a knot in the end or whatever.

Oh, I like this. Looks so comfy and warm. Not something I plan on trying, but you sure did good job.

Very pretty.. Lucky baby...

That certainly looks seriously soft! So very pretty ...

very pretty!!!!

Love the softness of Minkee and your rag quilt looks so comfy and warm!

It is a very bright and cheerful quilt. It looks very warm and appealing.

When maing a minkie rag quilt here are two suggestions that will make it easy. 1. use left over batting from quilts. Its the perfect thickness and it will also help keep the minkie stable. (I use warm and natural). 2. use a walking foot and everything...start to finish. It really is a simple quilt to make. You can also use the june taylor for the fringe. I use to use that when making scrafs. The is a utube some where how to do it...you can cut the blocks prior to sewing them together. no scissor cutting.

If you are making a rag lapsize quilt for an adult...I recommend 8 1/2 blocks 5 across and 7 down - I only did 6 and it does not cover the toes. One nice thing about rag quilts you can make it bigger even after you have washed and dried. hmm...now that is a thought...add a row every few years. crib quilt, twin size than queen...LOL

WOW - Just terrific, great job, thanks for sharing, now that looks all snuggley
Have a Blessed day

That's really pretty, did you use all one colour Minkee on the back or?

Love it!! that is so pretty. And it looks so soft.

Oh that is very pretty and must be so SOFT! Use those scraps or give them to another quilter who will,because the tiniest piece of minki is worth saving.

Very pretty--looks so soft!

I am sure she will love it .. Good idea with the minkee-I haven't used that yet, so may try it on the rag quilt ..

Very very pretty and love the colors.

Beautiful. You have encouraged me to start mine. The fabric has been patiently waiting for the excitement to begin!

Really, really beautiful!

What did you use for the backing? I have a charm pack of minkie light as well as lots of scraps of batting and will use that for a baby quilt. Thanks for showing such a pretty soft-looking quilt.

love the colors it's a beauty

I love it and so will your GD!

Lovely!

that is really cute. I vote for use the scraps and make it reversible

I'll just bet that feels sooooo good! Good job!
