I've made a lot of them. The last one I finished a few weeks ago was a little time consuming as it had certain pieced blocks. I can make regular 8" squares rag quilt in a day if I use the rag die (Accuquilt Go) I won't make a rag quilt without the real rag snips. I use these.

Oh and meant to ask... those who do rag quilts.... The tutorial I did mine off of says to "snip" every quarter inch.... Is this close enough? Should I make them closer together or space them out more? I want a nice fluffy seam, but it doesnt have to be overly so......

I've only made one for a baby. Three layers of flannel with no batting. I snipped at 1/2" and it was fine. I would think 1/4" would fray away totally. I wish I'd taken a picture, but it was a rush job for a fundraiser and I never imagined three years ago that I would ever take up quilting. How life changes!!

I totally feel you on the "start today finish tomorrow" projects. I just did a little sewing machine cover and it took me over a week!
But I love your color choices, your humor and your overall attitude on life. Keep on plugging away and post progress pics!
