What ever you do, it should be fun and relaxing, not cause you stress. If you enjoy doing rag quilts then do them! The heck with what anyone else thinks.
|
I only do what I think I will enjoy and I don't care what others think. I have tried new things, some I liked and some I didn't, but it was my choice!!!
So do what is fun and comfortable for you and don't worry about what others can do or what you think you ought to be doing. |
Love rag quilts! I also started out making them and then just ventured on to other kinds.Do whats stress free for you and enjoy!

Like everyone else has said, do whatever you like. You will know when you are ready to try something else. Read all you can on what quilts please you and you will have an easier time.

My quilts are not great but with each one I get better.I enjoy learning from my mistakes. LOL Well maybe enjoy is not the right word, but I am learning a lot and I do enjoy that part. :XD:

I have thought about making a rag quilt, but it seems so difficult. I might try one someday.

Oh my goodness no! Take two squares, rectagles...whatever you like...wrong sides together with some batting sandwiched in between and sew an " X ". Going from one corner to an opposite corner. Then when all your blocks are done...arrange how you like and sew them all together. No border/binding required. Just sew around the outside about 1/2 inch. Then your gonna clip all your seems. Wash and dry and your done! Let me know if i could be of any more help. |
