Have any of you ever made a scrap rag quilt?
I'm in the process of making one.
I was sewing scrap pieces to make a scrap quilt and wondered if it could be cut down into sized rag squares so I took out my Go machine and the 8.5 inch rag die and started cutting these sewed scraps.
I was very surprised and impress at how well it looks cut into a rag block. It has caused some of the edges to have tip peaces cut where a piece was sewed.
Anyway today I cut batiks and some solids for the back of these scrappy rag squares.
Tomorrow I plan to start sewing it all together.
Here are a couple of the cut scrappy into rag squares.
Once I have it sewed and finished I will post it in the pictures section. I feel it will look great with all the various scraps and colors in it.

Oh wow I didn't know that. That is pretty cool. I really didn't mind cutting all the little srtips. It was quite fun and I did it while talking to my daughters and also when we watched a movie. I try to keep my hands busy all the time. I don't have a AccuQuilt Go Die. Maybe one day.
