I've made a lot of them. The last one I finished a few weeks ago was a little time consuming as it had certain pieced blocks. I can make regular 8" squares rag quilt in a day if I use the rag die (Accuquilt Go) I won't make a rag quilt without the real rag snips. I use these. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

LOVE the Santa qult. Just to to say it again! LOL
Off the computer (which is running vvv eee rrr yyy sssssslllllooooooooowwwwllllyyyyy thanks to the stormy weather....) to work on this beast of a quilt... LOL |
Oh and meant to ask... those who do rag quilts.... The tutorial I did mine off of says to "snip" every quarter inch.... Is this close enough? Should I make them closer together or space them out more? I want a nice fluffy seam, but it doesnt have to be overly so......

I've only made one for a baby. Three layers of flannel with no batting. I snipped at 1/2" and it was fine. I would think 1/4" would fray away totally. I wish I'd taken a picture, but it was a rush job for a fundraiser and I never imagined three years ago that I would ever take up quilting. How life changes!!

Maybe when they said "make in a day" they meant "it will.take 24 hours..."

I only have 112 more squares to "quilt" then I can make my rows! Wooo! LOL With any luck I can get it done today.... Its COLD here! LOL |
I totally feel you on the "start today finish tomorrow" projects. I just did a little sewing machine cover and it took me over a week!
But I love your color choices, your humor and your overall attitude on life. Keep on plugging away and post progress pics! |
