nativetexan: Love the bright colos of your quilt - Also like the idea of the border you used.

I wash any shirts whole before clipping in hot water on heavy cycle. I'm just going to cut the seams off any way. I do the jeans the same way. They go into the washer actually before they go into the house. I made my own lingerie bag so to speak. Cut a large 36 " in diameter circle of durable netting material and sewed a drawstring pocket around the edges. Like a large drawstring laundry bag. I use that for scraps and also when I want to wash my furbabies leashes and collars. I also have the lingerie bags for the smaller scraps that have zippers.

Terrific quilt! The double seam is a good idea too~

I love rag quilts. Preparing flannel right now so that on my day off I can get the AccuCut out and cut a lot of squares. I normally will do alot of blocks and have them ready in a tote so that if I need a quick gift its just a matter of picking out the proper squares for the intended and sewing them together. I like the backs to be no prints but can be multi colored. I then either applique something on the back or this time I'm going to embroidery designs on instead of the square with the X to hold them together. I have a DGD due this month and another one due in Nov plus my 2yr old wants one. This time it'll be a teaching session as well. My daughter wants to learn and what better way for her to learn while she's helping cut all of those squares. I think this time I'll either take them to a laundry mat, since there are a few or put them into a mesh bag to hold all of the strings. But I so love the finished product. If you use fleece then you get the effect of the rag without any fraying.
