Rag Quilt
Most
use flannel scraps, but I’ve seen this done in fleece/denim also...was
awesome!!!
1) cut squares.........7' to 9" your
choice of flannel (I used
asst. or 2-solid) I make 80 squares, so the quilt is 8 blocks wide, 10
blocks long. I find 9" blocks work best. You will need 80 for the back as well, so cut a total of
160. This makes a nice, roomy lap-size, great for T.V. watching or travel.
2) cut batting 2 inches smaller then squares...great way to use
up scraps! (7 inch for 9” blocks) you
will need 80 for this size.
3) sandwich batting & flannel squares,
sew one inch all around
each square. (Or be lazy like me and use quilt basting spray or spray
adhesive!)
4)quilt each square (Some people just sew
a big "X") to secure the pieces together.
5)sew blocks together at 1 inch, right
where your line already
is. Making sure the front (top) is where the fringe is. This can be
tricky, so lay it out on the floor first. I use all one color, or 2 color
checker-board style for the back.....the is the smooth side is the back.
6) clip seams, the top, about 1/4-1/2 inch for fringe
7) Wash to get fringe to fill out, and Walla!!! you have a great quilt!!
Hope this helps..
