Make rag quilts if that makes you happy. I started out making baby quilts out of panels and rag quilts. Then i added string quilts, now i make all kinds of quilts. But i still make rag quilts because my family loves them and you can relieve a lot of stress while you are snipping...Lol.
Do what you enjoy. Life is too short not to be happy.
Happy quilting.

Sorry I have taken so long to respond. I have been doing inventory at work. I have found applique to work real well on the rag quilts. I choose my patterns from several sources. I browse on line for pictures or words (I like to personalize the baby quilts) or I will use a quilt templet for the design. To apply I can use a fusible stabilizer, then just apply with a zig zag stitch around the edge. You can stitch in about half a inch from the edge on some designs and clip it like the rest. Here is one I helped my granddaughters make for there mom...
