It IS gorgeous! thanks for sharing!

I think it would be worth the blisters, love the colors.

I made a rag quilt the same size as yours and trust me, I understand where you are coming from!! I thought I would NEVER finish snipping those darn seams! It is sooo worth it though when you're done. :-)

Well............I've been told that rag quilts should be washed at a laudromat the first time or two to prevent costly repair to the washing machine, but I'm hard-headed so I put it in my machine at home and was shocked at how much debris was floating around in the water, so I got a strainer and a bowl and proceeded to skim all the floating fibers from the water. I kept resetting the timer so it wouldn't start draining before I was satisfied that there wasn't much trash left. And I did it again in the rinse cycle. I skimmed out a bowlful of lint. And that was after I ran it through the dryer several time so the lint trap would catch most of it and had to clean that out every five minutes. That process did not go as well as I'd hoped. My brother in law is an appliance repairman so I knew who to call if I had a problem, but he's not cheap, even for relatives.

Do NOT wash rag quilts in your home washing machine the first time. Do NOT!

I have run another load of clothes through and it worked fine but next time I will find a laudromat for the rag quilt.

Just beautiful! You did a great job. I have made several of the big ones, but used the Accuquilt Go machine rag cutter. It pre-cuts the fringes for you. Easy and fast. Love your quilt!

Very pretty. The snipping is why I use the accu quilt; makes life a whole lot better (and faster)

I've done a few and never had a problem with my washer getting clogged up.

really pretty

It looks beautiful, you did a great job. I haven't done one yet, but if I did I'd get the special scissors to snip the layers, as they are supposed to be easier on your hands. Nice job.

Absolutely beautiful, great colors and great job. So worth the blisters and time spent on it. Good for you.

Wow! That is pretty. You did a wonderful job. I did a full size quilt with both sides being flannel, but my squares were about twice that size. It does take a lot of cutting, but well worth it after the fingers heal. Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty!

Rag snippers were the first thing I bought when I started planning my rag quilts. What a labor saver!!! No blisters either. BTW, your quilt is really pretty. I love the soft colors and it ragged beautifully. I'm sure you're glad you did it. Thanks for sharing.

My first rag quilt i made was lots of work clipping the squares and then i went and bought the proper rag snippers to make it . Have made 3 quilts now and alot easier but your hands still get a bit sore ..

Very pretty. When I made one out of denim, I clipped as I sewed. Made the same mistake and clipped after I had put together

Wow! Beautiful work! I have made 4 rag quilts, never one this large but I really like them. Beautiful colors too!

that is one rag I really like. Great work lady. Barb

Love Rag quilts!! The spring loaded snipping scissors is the way to go in clipping them. Much easier. Of all the quilts I have given away, the ragged quilts are the most loved and used. That makes me happy. I made one queen size for my adult grandson (at his request) and he loves it. ;)
Your quilt is beautiful and the fringe is really nice.

Very nice... Love those colors!

Your quilt is beautiful. I love to make rag quilts. My DH does the clipping for me. I'm sooooo lucky. I bought him the rag quilt nips. He loves them.

GREAT JOB :) I also made a rag quilt (flannel) for my GD, chk it out. I made them 10" sqs w/9" batting or you can use flannel. I invested in rag quilt scissors & they are to die for. You DON'T prewash the fabric but when you're done put in washer/dryer & vwala' fringe between & sooooo soft.

Nice looking rag quilt. Accuquilt is great for cutting the blocks AND fringes.

Very pretty!

gorgeous

It's beautiful!

It's beautiful!

Love it Love it. Worth the work you put in.

Thanks Jeanelle, the colours are beautiful.

Wow, I can only imagined how much work was put into this but I think you did awesome! Love all thos4e colors/prints that u used in this. So what was the blocks size u used?

Your quilt is beautiful, great job.

Very pretty.

Very nice, I use the snips also but do a little at a time, then stop, rest, do something else and come back to it. Also I get DH to help, he doesn't mind.

I made one of these awhile back, but before starting, I purchased those rag quilt scissors. that made the snipping so much easier becuase of the way they are constructed. Beautiful quilt, but I imagine it being very heavy also.

These are supposed to be easier to use than scissors. I have a quilt that's supposed to be clipped along all the seams, too. I haven't take the spring-action grippers out of the box, yet. . .

Really pretty!

Your rag quilt is beautiful!
