A New Project
This is the beginning of my Christmas rag quilt. I started cutting squares yesterday but ran short on fabric, so the finished product will be about 3 rows longer than what you see here. The process of making a rag quilt requires that you leave about a 1" seam allowance around each of the squares, giving it a cute fringed look (like this.) I hear that rag quilts are fairly forgiving, making them good projects for beginning quilters such as myself. I'll post pictures when I am finished.

cute! There is nothing like a nice cozy blanket to snuggle into on a cold Christmas night. =)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I like the fabric you chose, and the fringed edge gives it that cozy look (like in the link)...cute, cute, CUTE!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and fun! I think they are a good starter project...I've been working on rag quilts for my boys and it's actually a lot easier than I thought!
