That is one big rag quilt - viewing it has reinspired me to start making rag quilts again. I have made many for dialyses patients (they get very cold during treatments) but got somewhat burned out on making the rag quilts - and I have a die cutter that does the snipping for me! :-)

What did you use for batting. It"s really nice looking

No batting, just two layers of flannel with an 'X' sewn across each block for quilting. I did a meandering quilting through the borders. It is plenty heavy and warm with just the two layers of flannel.

The fabrics for this one cost about $140. This was for a very good friend, so I didn't charge her anything but for the fabrics. If I were doing if for a regular customer, I'd probably charge about $100 for the construction of it as well. But as much as I like rag quilts, I don't think I want to make another one anytime soon. :D

P.S. I asked my friend what she wanted on the label, and basically it was "Merry Christmas, <name>" and then "Love, Mom and Dad, 2010". When I gave it to my friend today and she read the label she looked like she was on the verge of tears. Made it all worth it. :D

Thank you for this - I'm going through severe avoidance making a flannel rag quilt right now, and now I'm inspired again. This is lovely, mine will only be average...

EDDIE I love both of your quilts they look assum

Boy, that took a while to snip, so nice...
