I gave a rag quilt to my daughter and son-in-law and he loves it! (so surprised me too) anyway, yours are very cute!

I think they are real quilts. I don't know where that idea ever got started about real quilts or not real quilts. Our ancestors made more utility type quilts than they ever did the "artsy" type. They were a necessity to keep their families warm. Your quilts are lovely and keep up the good work. Don't let anyone tell you what is real and what is not. If you enjoy doing them then go for it.

To me a quilt is something with duel function.......both to snuggle with and for warmth.......looks like these can do both!!! I, too sparked my passion with rag quilts.......

GREAT JOB!!!

Beautiful, they look like real quilts to me. Be proud of the great job you did on these rag quilts. For me, if you use fabrics, cut them into shapes and dew them together, then they are real quilts, just what you did. I want to try these if and when I get time.

How in the world did you end up making a Colts quilt and a Patriots quilt??? :shock:

I kid, I kid. I'm just a die-hard Colts fan and it's always jarring to see them in the same place. ;)

I think your rag quilts look great! Keep sharing photos!

They are all very nice and I would be proud to show and display them.

Quilt: bed covering made of batting enclosed between layers of fabric and kept in place by lines of stitching.

Summer Quilt: top and backing but no batting or filling.

How do your lovely rag quilts not fit the above definitions?

Yours are lovely. Don't be afraid to show your projects. The quilt police is not on the board!

:thumbup: :thumbup: That is the next thing on my wish list. It was nice to see how yours came out. Just inspires me to get a move on it. :lol:
