Rag Quilt
 

This is a rag quilt a made for my DD. She wanted a nice big snuggly flannel quilt so I thought I would give a rag quilt a try.
Took me heaps longer than I thought, but was a great way of using up all those scraps of batting I had hung on to ;)
DD designed the pattern, she wanted all the blue/green hearts together on the raggy side, the back was all just random lighter colours.[ATTACH=CONFIG]343375[/ATTACH]
It ended up around 62" x 74"[ATTACH=CONFIG]343376[/ATTACH]

Beautiful design. I love how the arrangement of blocks can make each quilt unique!

It looks nice and soft

love the quilt and the colors as well.

Very pretty!!!

She will love it!

What a fantastic quilt. What a great incentive for others to mimic. Thanks.

That is very nice, like your pattern layout.

That's lovely, and all the nicer because your DD helped.

Hello down there from Iowa USA... I just started cutting fannel squares for a rag quilt... hope mine turns out as nice & raggy as yours.

Very pretty!

It's so lovely and comfy looking! How nice your DD helped, that memory will stay with her forever!

Very very pretty!

Love it too!

Great job! I love the colors and layout!

Rag quilts are a lot of work. Yours is very pretty!

very very pretty, you did a great job... love it

Very nice, it looks so cozy and warm! I like the design and colors.

Great job. It definitely looks warm and snuggly and with a good book and a hot cup of cocoa this will transport her to a lovely place. Great job.

she'll love it ....really pretty

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, it is winter down here and it is getting a lot of use, both on her bed and on the lounge, she wanted to take in on her recent scout camp but decided it was just too big and heavy LOL

Unique and cuddly warm! Great job!

Very pretty rag quilt. Soft and inviting. Love how your arranged your pattern. Tell me, did your hand turn into a claw while you were ragging it?? Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful quilt. You are very talented.

Very pretty-love the layout!

It really is. I made so many rag quilts when I first began quilting, think it's time to make a few more and maybe copy your very nice design. May in Jersey

Beautiful! She will be dragging that quilt off to college some day! :)

It's just lovely -- and grouping the colors together that way on the front really added to the quilt!

very nice! I love those snuggly flannel rag quilts! great colors

It's very pretty, the pink and blue/green work so well together. What a lucky DD :thumbup:

Pretty quilt!

Turned out wonderful, great job and thank you for sharing.
Have a Blessed day

That's a very pretty rag quilt. I usually make my batting squares 8" and flannel squares 10". So this is a refreshing change seeing so many squares of color in what is relatively the same size that I usually make. What usually takes the longest is the snipping. If you have a pair of rag quilt snips it goes by quicker and less painfully! If not, and you plan on ever making another, get at least one pair. The secret is to pay attention to where you're snipping, and if you ever snip through the seam, fix it immediately.

I'm sure your dd will love it! It will surely keep her warm for many years. We have a few in the family room and cuddle up with them as needed. Keep in mind that they usually shed for a while and empty the dryer lint trap often (every 5 minutes) when drying the first bunch of times.

What size are your blocks? Batting 5 1/2" and material 7 1/2"? If you have the time, please pm me with that information. Thanks.

love rag quilts Barb

Pretty, pretty!! I love scrappy & rag.

Rag quilts are fun and easy to make, yours looks great.
