The last several are flannel on top and bottom, and I love those too. I've made them as baby gifts and big people gifts. What I like best about the making of them is that they are pretty quick and simple and you get that satisfaction of completing them pretty quickly! <br /><br />I'm glad your sweet little friend is enjoying her special quilt. <br /><br />JeriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-20167624350621837592012-02-23T12:53:09.709-06:002012-02-23T12:53:09.709-06:00Love it!

I have never made a rag quilt, but I wonder if it would work for quilting. Sometimes I choose not to do FMQ and use a walking foot for straight lines and wide curves. The walking foot will usually have too much pressure and cause puckering and therefore a lot more stopping and starting to avoid it. If a zipper foot has no pressure, maybe that would work better?Mike Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186055974523028705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-46733452972252343592012-02-22T09:58:29.465-06:002012-02-22T09:58:29.465-06:00Very nice!

Great advice to use next time!<br />Also, for smaller quilts, I washed them inside a pillowcase so the fringy bits didn't clog up the washer.

If you have a septic system, instead of city sewer hook-up, you might want to consider doing the first wash of your rag quilt at a the "laundromat" instead of in your machine at home. That's a lot of little threads to flush into the septic tank.StuffandThingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472977898008242622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-45098119385743143992012-02-22T08:00:52.285-06:002012-02-22T08:00:52.285-06:00I love you dearly, Amanda Jean--you know that--but...I love you dearly, Amanda Jean--you know that--but you are NOT helping me in my goal to dedicate myself to my WIPs!!! :-) The zipper foot idea is new to me. I desperately want to try to make one of these rag quilts but alas, I am trying to be "good." However, I will try this method very soon.<br /><br />As for the word verification, I dislike the new style that Blogger's using but I know that bloggers are getting loads of spam. Personally I'd rather see my favorite bloggers using their time to write posts than weed out the junk. I'm trying to use it as an opportunity to practice my intentional touch typing. :-)Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02568944733073812787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-35890952604040014572012-02-22T07:55:03.968-06:002012-02-22T07:55:03.968-06:00I LOVE this tutorial!!

So I hope you...Yes, everyone makes them different. So I hope you don't mind too much my suggestions. I make them out of flannel with white or cream flannel as the "batting". I stack the front, middle and back together before cutting and cut them all the same size. This way they are ready to go and with all layers caught in the seams there is no reason to sew and X. Saves a lot of time and they are still very heavy and warm.PDOTTreatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183830986714793925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-16188286138315808582012-02-21T22:36:38.393-06:002012-02-21T22:36:38.393-06:00I want to wrap myself up in it...looks so warm and...I want to wrap myself up in it...looks so warm and cozy!

Apparently they are my husband's favorite. The last one I made was because he wanted something to do in the house during his cold. We gave it to his mom and she loves it.<br /><br />I have two suggestions to offer. One, if you have any fleece left over from other projects this is a great way to use it up. I did that for one for my son and it is SO warm and was cheap. I now get all the corners from those tied blankets everyone makes.<br /><br />My other suggestion is to use a heavy duty thread. My son has had to have his repaired several times because he wraps up in it and pulls on it breaking threads. I now use upholstery thread and I am much happier with that.<br /><br />Love the fabric!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983019041469120523noreply@blogger.com
