It's been awhile since I have posted on here. When I do a project I forget to take pictures. Today I finished up a rag quilt for a baby shower present. I have made rag quilts before, each one always turns out my favorite when I am done. This one is no different. I love how quick and easy they are. Bonus the people you give it think its a lot more complicated and time consuming. I did my own thing but got advice from two tutorials. This one for the sizing of my strips and this one for the personalization..
I cut my strips 7 inches and 4 inches. I used green flannel in the middle of the strips. I sewed them using a 1/2 inch seam allowance.
Note, when personalizing make sure you trace your letters backwards on the fusible web. I learned the hard way. Also when sewing your quilt together make sure the name is the right or you could have an upside down quilt like mine. The name was suppose to be on the bottom. However I really like the way my mistake turned out. On other note you definitely want to wash the quilt at a laundry mat or have a really good filter on your washer and dryer.
After wash.
I have made a couple more rag quilts using the same technique.
