Quilt Top for Rag Quilt (plus a couple questions)
#11
Great color and layout. I use 1/2 inch seams and lengthen my stitching a bit when sewing the X from corner to corner using a walking foot. I also use spring loaded scissors to make clipping the seams easier and less fatigue on your hands.

Angel - thanks for the info. Which brought up another question for me: Can I use the walking foot for the whole quilt or do I use a quilting foot? I have the Brother cs6000i.
Thanks so much. You all are gonna be tired of me by the time I get this finished LOL

Another point, is your material flannel? You'll want to clean out the feed dogs as the lint will build up fast under the feet. And remember, if you're on a septic tank you don't want to wash at home, take it to the laundry mat. Cotton doesn't break down in the tank.

Thanks again Angel!
Most of the pieces are flannel (all the backing) and on the front only the fabric that isn't flannel are the little black dress blocks and the minky.
We are on city water so I presume it should be ok to wash it at home. . . .

I made one for my new born grandson. Can't tell you how many washings it's gone through and survived just fine with a single seam. He's 14 months now and it's going just like the energizer bunny.

That is good news nanny - thanks!
OK I must really be tired (woke up every hour last night) because for some reason I can't figure out how to "edit" my original post. I thought there was an "edit" bottom on the bottom of the post but no. I tried clicking on the # and arrow in the right hand corner - nothing.
Anyway -- here is the backing for the quilt. I couldn't find what I wanted but since my dd loves cats and fashion - I thought it was appropriate.
