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.

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.

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.

Flowergurl 11-30-2015 07:09 PM

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.

nanacc 11-30-2015 07:31 PM

Nicely done. You can make all sorts of quilting shapes such as HST. Great that you got it done before the holidays.

Nice job, these are fun to make

I just love rag quilts. But boy do your hands hurt when you are finished. Beautiful

Flowergurl 12-02-2015 04:49 AM

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!

annette1952 12-02-2015 08:02 AM

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

JanieH 12-02-2015 02:08 PM

Love the quilt, especially the kitties!

I bet your daughter will love it too!
