I agree with one of the other comments. ALWAYS use a commercial washer and dryer for the first couple of washes on these. I think your quilt came out very nice. I like the colors. I have made a couple of these and I know how much work it is just to clip all those edges. You did a good job.

So pretty...love how it came out!!!I am thinking of making a king size that way since its to hard to FMQ a King size quilt on my sewing machine. I love how one side is frayed and the other is not.

I am going to tell on myself here, but whenever I make a rag quilt, I always take it to the laundromat to wash and dry. The commercial dryers are so powerful that the lint isn't a problem on the quilts (I wash the quilt twice and dry it twice as well). I also run the washer through a complete cycle afterwards with nothing in it just so there isn't any lint left behind to ruin the next customer's clothes. I do love your quilt though!!
