    Default My first rag quilt

    I read about rag quilts here and the idea interested me.
    I completed my first one for my daughter today.
    It is made of flannel and has a denim back. It is a queen size.
    I just got back from the laundromat a little while ago with it.
    It wasn't completely dry so I finished drying it in my dryer at home.
    All that's left to do is print out a label and sew it on.
    This will be part of her Christmas this year.
    I named it playful dreams.

    Thanks! I was happy with how it turned out.
    The flannel was a new set of sheets i found at a goodwill store one day. My daughter loves cats, so
    she should be quite happy with it.
    I didn't add any batting because i read denim quilts are heavy.
    This one is heavy when wet, but not unmanageable. Just like handling a large comforter.
    I am planning one for my granddaughter next.
