I have made 3 rag quilts so far. They are easy but I've never finished one in a day! I made one for my oldest son out of old jeans; did not use a batting. Lined the back with fleece. It is really heavy, could almost use it in the Alaskan wildnerness!! He loves it. As he goes camping a lot. I put pockets from the jeans on several of the squares. Made my squares 10 inches and took 3/4" seams.
