i have been stocking up on flannel to make one, but havent started it yet.
I hope mine comes out half as good. Super job and like your label :D |
Hi Barb, I love the rag quilt and I think I might try to make one. Is flannel better than cotton? What's your opinion.

I made mine out of cotton, flannel seem too hot

Your quilt is gorgeous. I have a lot of flannels that I have been collecting to make a rag quilt. I have never used flannel in a quilt. Since it is supposed to fray after you put it together, do you still wash it before? I am assuming that you would because of the way flannel shrinks.

always wash your fabric before sewing. Fraying on a rag quilt comes at the end after you clip all the seams and wash. flannel is a #1 fabric for rag quilting. i perfer cotton, so many more options and works just as well!

Thanks, I have learned I should never assume anything. It is much safer to ask questions. Thanks again, danna

Beautiful

Looks like a great quilt to snuggle in!
