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

on this particular quilt, i used cotton muslin. i think the next one i will use a flannel backing. muslin is very cost effective and still looks nice as a backing.

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

not sure what you mean, but i use 1/2 inch seams throughout the entire quilt.

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.

please post pics when your done, would love to see it!

Beautiful quilt - nice colors.
