Well, I can't believe I'll ever get all of the lint off but here it is before washing and after one cycle through the w/d.

And after the laundry room experience:

That is adorable. Did you use 3 layers of flannel or 2 of flannel and a piece of batting in the middle?

Thanks! 3 layers of flannel. This thing may never be lint-free! :)

It's sew cute! I love to make rag quilts.

It's cute & no..... I don't think rag quilts ever quit shedding threads (at least not in my experience)

IT IS SOOO CUTE..
I LOVE MAKING RAG QUILTS TOO !!!!
bopeep

Adorable, love the monkey fabric!

Lint - collect it up and make fire starters! Good stuff.

That's one cute quilt.

It turned out great! love the colours

That is so cute! Is the lint hard on the machines? I want to do one of those for my middle sons birthday in Oct. Just a lap size one, well a big lap one, He's 6.4

Cute fabric and nice colors :thumbup: As for the lint :( it does finally slow down. The birds love the lint to build nests.

Love it :mrgreen: How many more to go ?

lovely quilt and cute fabric too!

So cute. Looks so snuggly soft. You did a great job :thumbup:

When you first showed us that delightful monkey fabric I just knew it would be great. Love it!

Very nice!

Looks very good! I love rag quilts and would love to have one but don't have the nerve to make one.

really cute

adorable

sew cute

It really turned out great!! What a cute Quilt Sam!!

In another thread, a poster recommended washing and drying the quilt at a commercial laundramat first. All that tiny string lint is rough on the w/d.

Just adorable, wonderful job you did.

I love the monkeys!!! You did a great job on it :D:D:D

I like the idea of taking the quilt to a laundry mat ( are they still called that?) for that first wash and dry.

i love it.

That is really sweet! I love the feel of flannel but don't like to work with it ....I sneeze and my nose runs constantly . I recently made two flannel quilts for my ggs's. I haven't quilted them yet. I am hoping I won't have a problem with that part of it!!

Good job on your quilt! :thumbup:

Ditter

I am wanting to try a rag quilt; looking at yours gives me inspiration.

That is really cute. The only way you could not have lint is if you cut all of the blockson the bias. That would probably be worse than the shedding. Good job!
