One more question ...or two?!!
Did you used batting and backing??
Looks like you used 2 layers of the cottons together at one time? And then stiitch 1 panel at a time?
Thanks

This is so ironic, I just started cutting a rag quilt for my 25 yr. old grandson yesterday and I'm using the fabric that you have in your avitar. Love your little girl quilt!
Wish I could say I got a bargin :(.

I remember how expensive my avatar fabric was, so I feel for you. I can report that it washes and wears well.

I did use batting, and it worked out well since the fabrics were so light weight. If you use a poly or matted batting, the squares should be smaller than the fabric squares so that it doesn't protrude into the fringe. If you are using flannel or cotton fabric as the batting, it is okay to cut the same size as the original squares.

I used matching fabric on the front and back of each square, although this isn't required. You could use pretty fabrics on the 'front' fringed side, a cheaper coordinating fabric on the back.

I hope that helps!
