I went to Joann's today and purchased a pair of the Fiskars rag quilt
scissors, had a 50% off coupon so they were 9.99 good deal. Can't wait to try them. :D :lol:

Your MIL should LOVE this!

Otherwise, I'm willing to give it a good home! :mrgreen:

you can buy the spring loaded Fiskars, the small one, at Walmart. They work great and alittle cheaper.

Thank you all for the encouragement. Like I said this is the easiest quilt I have made so far. I have the fabric already bought to make two more but I'm going to buy some of those Faskars before I cut them.

i got a pair of these scissors at wmart. they really save your hands and are super sharp at the tip. very much worth the price. don't know if i'd make a rag quilt with all the snip, snip, snip, without them.
beautiful quilt. i'm doing a few for xmas also. i made a flannel for myself, and it is the fav. of all the kids and grownups too;)

NIce work! I haven't finished my first one, but I have started it!!

I also have the Fiskars scissors. I got mine on sale at WM. I saw a pack of 2 for the price of one in a pricey quilt shop after that...it was almost as cheap to buy them individually at WM. :roll:

Just be careful working with those scissors. Mine are so sharp at the tip, and I've ran them into my finger!! They'd make a good weapon, as well.

What a great quilt! I love your choice of blue and the cute print. Is the fabric flannel?

Thank you all for the kind comments. No the fabric that I used is cotton. I did use flannel in the center. I cut all of my squares the same size 7 inch and used a 1/2 inch seam. I have made three others since this one and need to make at least two more before Christmas. I did buy the fiskars rag scissors and they have been a life saver.
