Figuring Out How To Make A Rag Quilt


78 squares of Aviary in Robin
+
78 squares of Lock in Splash
+
156 squares of Flannel

Yikes, that was a lot of cutting! I bet the quilters out there could have given me a few pointers.

Next steps: Each printed square will be backed with a flannel square. The 156 squares will then be sewn together with their 1/3" seam facing out. The seams will be snipped to create frayed edges (the signature of a rag quilt). Finally, this newly created quilt will become the top of the duvet for this bedroom.



Any guess as to when this will all be done? I may pull some late nights, catching up on a few favorite TV shows while sewing!
