Your quilt is just gorgeous. I love your colors!! The border is a great idea. You have made me want to buy some more flannel. Quite a few years ago I made several rag quilts for Christmas presents. My leftovers went to a cat quilt cut into 4 inch squares. It took as long to cut a 3x3 foot quilt as a larger one. My cats really love the quilt, so every snip was worth it.

I'm thinking of making 2 rag quilts for single beds. Did you quilt this yourself? That would be the one thing I'm worried about doing ...

yes, you layer your two fabric squares with your batting in between, then you sew an "x".

they are scissors made for rag quilting. they have a short stubby blade. i sit and do a little at a time. it actually goes faster than you would think.

you don't actually quilt this as in the traditional way. your sewing your two squares with a batting square in the middle. then your sewing all the squares together. so it's kinda like your "quilting" it as you go

I love Your quilt!!! The colors are beautiful. Did you do this in flannel or cotton? Your squares are they 4x4? It is really a very nice quilt. I would love to make one.
