We're getting ready for vacation and I've been finishing up some projects. This is my first attempt at making a "rag" quilt and I loved making it. So easy!!! I used fabrics I had on hand except buying the flannel backing and batting. Here is a picture of the before washing and after washing. I have heard the more it's washed the softer the cut edges around the squares become. My husband loves it and it's big enough for him to wrap up in. I am definitely going to make another one of these quilts once I have time to figure out how much fabric it actually takes if I don't use scraps.

I love your rag quilt it is gorgeous! Good luck getting it away from Jeff, he looks so warm and comfortable under it.
I have to add that you sure do wonderful work, and that quilt looks amazing!
You should put the word out that people could send you scraps of fabrics they won't use anyway, and you can make another quilt for "free"!
I have LOTS of fabric I can send you, that's for sure.
