    Default Rag Quilt

    Ready to sew it into rows and finished rag quilt.

    This rag quilt I used 4 layers;
    1) top layer printed square
    2) 2nd layer solid color fabric
    3) warm and natural batting
    4)bottom layer solid color fabric

    I used the AccuQuilt Studio 8" rag square, for batting and top printed square 6 1/2 " square.

    I used fancy sewing stitching around edge of square about 1 1/2" in and hand sewed the center of each square with a variety of buttons.

    Now I'm ready to put it all together.

    Sewed buttons in center and did fancy stitching around it as seen in each block.

    Thank you.

    I don't like doing the X in center of rag quilts so with each one I design I usually do some type of fancy stitching. I'm about to experiment doing free style quilting on each block soon on some others I plan to do.

    A rag quilt does not have to look boring with an X in center. We can be creative and do other things to make it one of a kind.
