Quilting: Flannel Rag Quilt

Flannel Rag Quilt

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Quilting Quickly: Patterns, Techniques & Tips »

Instructions

This is a very quick and easy quilt to make. My only suggestion would be, if you use a light and a dark color like I did, I would prewash my fabrics separately before cutting. I did not, and the red color bled onto the white, creating a pink quilt. : (

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Children

Style: Cute, Holiday, Casual


Materials

100% cotton flannel, all purpose thread

What was your inspiration?

Watching Jenny made a rag quilt on Quilting Quickly II!

What are you most proud of?

In spite of the fact that the colors bled, I think it turned out really cute!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid... it's easy! If you use the Acuquilt GO! to cut your rag squared, just be careful when sewing the seams... make sure that you don't catch any of the little fringe pieces in the seam because it will leave a hole in the quilt. I'm going to make my next one exactly like Jenny did on the video and snip the fringe AFTER I sew the quilt.

It's beautiful. I watched Jenny too and am about halfway done with my rag quilt, using fabrics from my stash. Hope it looks as good as yours!!
