My first rag quilt
2 Attachment(s)
I read about rag quilts here and the idea interested me.
I completed my first one for my daughter today. It is made of flannel and has a denim back. It is a queen size. I just got back from the laundromat a little while ago with it. It wasn't completely dry so I finished drying it in my dryer at home. All that's left to do is print out a label and sew it on. This will be part of her Christmas this year. I named it playful dreams. [ATTACH=CONFIG]536758[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]536759[/ATTACH] |
I love it!
|
Love the colors! Beautiful!
|
Thanks! I was happy with how it turned out. :)
The flannel was a new set of sheets i found at a goodwill store one day. My daughter loves cats, so she should be quite happy with it. I didn't add any batting because i read denim quilts are heavy. This one is heavy when wet, but not unmanageable. Just like handling a large comforter. I am planning one for my granddaughter next. |
Wonderful denim rag quilt! She is going to love it!
|
I love your sheet fabric.
|
nicely done
|
Great quilt!
|

{{{{{{{{{{{{applause}}}}}}}}}}}}} I have done three jean rag quilts, but they were only large lab/twin. I applaud you doing a queen.....HEAVY!!! |
It has kitties on it. I love cats. Cool quilt!!
|
Great rag quilt! Wow, queen sized is a lot of clipping. I did one that was a large lap size and my hands hurt from that.
|
Thanks!
I bought a pair of the Fiskars Spring Action Rag Quilter Snips and they really helped. I only did a row or two at a time, so it wasn't to bad. |
That will be nice and warm this winter.
|
Love your quilt! Neat fabrics!
|
Love the colors!!! This quilt will last a very long time. Great work!
|
Nicely done. You can make all sorts of quilting shapes such as HST. Great that you got it done before the holidays.
|
Love the color and especially the kitties.
|
Looks great. Nicely done.
|
Nice job, these are fun to make
|
I just love rag quilts. But boy do your hands hurt when you are finished. Beautiful
|
Thanks, so much for all the kind words.
These are so much fun to make, I think i am addicted to them now. LOL I'm cutting blocks to make my granddaughter one now. Her quilt will have a nature theme to it. I'm already thinking a scrappy one after that. haha |
Great quilt, nice work!
|
Very nice! Your daughter will love her gift. I just love rag quilts. I have never made a bed size one but made several throw size. They are fun to make. The first one wasn't so fun with all of the snipping but after that I bought me the die for my GO & made them much easier
|
Love the quilt, especially the kitties!
I bet your daughter will love it too! |
grea=t job!!!
