First rag quilt.
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here is my first rag quilt and first attempt at posting a picture. The quilt was so easy and I would suggest it for someone new to quilting or sewing in general. I would like to make another rag quilt but I think I'll invest in spring loaded scissors first.

Love it and the colors cheered me up and a gloomy day here! Love how bright and cheery it looks. I've never made a rag quilt, but sure would like to some time!

One of the most beautiful rag quilts I've seen on here! You did a great job! I've never made one either.

Some one once suggested Fiskars spring garden snips
I love them

Very nice, good colors and very cheerful. You're absolutely right about the spring loaded scissors - will make the job much easier and your hands will thank you for them.

I did 2 rag quilts but the fabric where children's clothing which was polyester and it was a challenge. Accu Quilt has a die cut that I might purchase next time. I love the colors.

Great rag quilt!!!

Quiltngolfer 01-01-2014 09:00 AM

It's beautiful! I love all your bright colors. Is it fleece? It looks like fleece. Yes, the scissors are a must have.

Great job. I did end up purchasing the Fiskar rag quilting scissors. I like them a lot. They seem to go through layers easily.
