I bought these 4 flannel fabrics this afternoon. I thought I had picked two sets, that go together. I had planned to do the top two together and the bottom two together. Now, after looking at them again, I'm not so sure. What do you all think?

I think they will make beautiful rag quilts.

I think they will make a great quilt. Did you think about switching the polka dot fabric with the pink and white? Just a thought.

You have a good eye for color, they look great. Can't wait to see the finished quilts.

Together? In one quilt?

Something else I wondered about...does anybody make it the same on both sides, both sides with frayed edges? Rather than the frayed edges on 1 side and the 'normal' sewed edge on the other?

I think they look great the way you described.

Ditter43 10-06-2010 02:32 PM

I agree with your idea, they will go well together! :D

To be honest, when I made my first rag quilt, I just used left over flannel, didn't give any thought to what did or did not go together, randomly sewed the blocks together, and it turned out great!

You've done a much better job of matching than I did so yours will be super great!!

I have never made a rag quilt, so I can't speak from experience, but I would think it would actually be easier to have the one finished side and the one rag side... but I could be wrong. I do like the fabrics though! I would be tempted to do a mixture of all 4 on both top and bottom, but that's mainly b/c I really like the polka dot one ;)

I also thought about that. Either way they are great fabrics.

They'll be fine! Once you sew and cut and the fringe flies, it'll be a beautiful quilt!

I think they will look good together...

All very cute fabrics! I've only made one rag quilt and did it with one print on back and patchwork on front, rag only on front. I just bought some more flannel today to make another one, not sure yet how I'm gonna do it.
