I am making first rag quilt for a good friend of mine. I have the cover finished but, am not sure what to do with the opposite side. To be honest, both sides look good but, she wanted the "rag" side to be seen. So, do I put a backing on the cover or just simply leave it as one piece?
Thanks,
JOY

When I read how other people had flannel on one side and another fabric on another side making it two pieces/layers, right? I only made mine one layer and thought whoa, was I suppose to make it two layer if so, what can I do?

This tutorial is how I got my start with rag quilts. I use different sized squares sometimes. I have used three layers of fabric for the rag quilts I've made. I like to use all layers of flannel, but I've also used cotton for the top layer and it turned out great!

I did cut them in squares, sew them together and the outside has rag style and the inside looks like squares. I did not know you had to put something on the back. That is why I was asking if I have to add a backing?
