They say that copying is a form of flattery. I was in awe of Chamby's king size rag quilt that she posted in February.
I just knew I had to make one for my bachelor son. The hardest part was collecting the homespun fabrics.
The picture shows up red, but it is burgundy. I cut my fabric squares 10" and my high loft batting 9". It is 91" square, big enough for my son's queen bed.
I sure hope it will keep him warm during those cold Wisconsin winter nights.

I love raggies!!!! Really like the buttons. Did you do the X quilting before or after it was clipped for ragging????

WOW-that is amazing! Lots of work went into this, and I'm sure he will appreciate it!

Love it!

Really like that!! Great job!!

They are so warm those quilts and are great for little ones to cuddle in to.

Very attractive quilt.

I really like your rag quilt ! I love making these quilts. I think I will add buttons next time, I like it !!

Looks warm and cozy to me...wonderful!!!!

Since it's for your son, I'll say...what a handsome quilt...even though I think it's really pretty. :)

That is really very good looking. Makes me wish for cold weather - very cuddly quilt.

Nice

very nice

What a great man quilt. He will love it.

The X's are stitched before you sew the blocks together. They are what holds it together while you put the blocks together. When the blocks are all sewn together, you have finished the quilt except for clipping so it will rag. Does this make sense?

Edited to add: Consider this a Quilt-as-you-go quilt.

As I was making my first rags quilts that were supposed to be presents, I ended up getting more fabric cuz I fell in love with one that I had to keep for myself. It keeps me nice and toasty while watching tv.

I agree that a hard part was finding homespun I liked.

Great job!!

Yes and those winters are cold here in Wisconsin. It is wonderful. May he use it in good health
