Your rag quilt is gorgeous....love your colors!
|
What type of fabric did you use and is it 2 layers or 3. I made a flannel baby quilt using 3 layers of flannel and had a real hard time on my sewing machine, until I bought a different type pressure foot. Your's is beautiful and I would like to try another one. I'm just now doing the clipping. That's taking as long as the quilting almost.

love it, keep it, Barb
|
Love the quilt! Especially like the way you have a border effect!
|
Oh I want to snuggle right now in the quilt. Very nice and I like the colors very much.
|
Love your rag quilt!!!! The colors couldn't be any better, and love that you used all one color on the back!!

thank you for all your great comments! i love reading them!
|
i forgot to add...i use the UHU brand washable glue stick too when i put the three layers together for each square. just a dab in the middle. it will wash out when you wash the quilt. it just helps with keeping the layers together and avoid alot of shifting when your sewing.

I love your quilt and especially the way you bordered it.I have made a few of these but never had a finishing border on them.Thank you for sharing you quilt, and I hope you don't mind if I use your idea for the border on the next ones I may make.
|
That is a very nice quilt. Was curious as to what kind of fabric you used? Flannel, 100% cotton or what? I wish I had the talent that all of you have. Still just a novice at this quilting stuff. How many layers of fabric did you use? Since it is just squares I think I might give it a shot and make one.
thank you for sharing |
how big are your squares?? and what kind of fabric did you use??

You did a beautiful job on this quilt! Love the fabrics/colors you chose. The quilt begs to be cuddled in with those warm colors and soft edges! Gosh....I'd want to keep it too.

question on rag quilt
I cut my squares last nite, using 8" squares which I think was plenty big. Next time I am going smaller. My question is, the backing do you use cotton? or flannel? Thanks for any info.
|
WOW - Just beautiful, great job and thanks for sharing
Have a Blessed day Ellen |

How did you do that? The ragged part looks bigger than the center of the block.

ladies...i just wanted to add....keep in mind when your planning the size of your squares, the the "finished" size will be smaller than the size you originally cut them once you take a 1/2 inch seam on all four sides. so, for my blocks, i cut them 6 inch squared, but once i sew them together, they finished at about 5 inches. now, that varies a little because i may not always have a perfect 1/2 seam all the time. but that's the beauty of these quilts. easy to hide all the little "ooppss" along the way.

I'm in the process of making my first rag quilt. I hope it looks half as great as yours. :)
|
Great job....Nice colors.

Beautiful quilt - nice colors.
|
That is so pretty. Your color choices make it really a stand out beauty.
|
Love your quilt!! Colors are beautiful. Another one to add to my to do list.
|
Question. Really new at this so please bare with me. Do you quilt your squares before you so them together?
|
Love the colors - good job!
|
Beautiful quilt, love the colours!
|
It is so warm and appealing. Anyone would love to curl up with that.
|
Sew pretty!!!
|
What are rag scissors? Do you just mean the spring loaded kind or is there some special scissors to make cutting those edges easier? I love the look but cannot do the clipping.
|
Looks like a keeper to me!
|
Ooo I really love the colors. Beautiful Job!! I need to finish clipping the edges on a kings size one that is still in my sewing room.
