I just came across your video. I wished I would have watched it before I went fabric shopping for my great-grandson's baby quilt. I bought 5 different fabric's and using only 2 or 3 looks so much easier. I saved your video to re-watch.

[@ninalucas2573]

I have watching many tutorials on rag quilting and yours is the best I have seen! Thank you very much!

[@agneslawrence2967]

I love rag quilting I am goona try Thanx for sharing

[@susandaniels495]

I like to double stitch around the outer edge, 1/4 inch apart. Then when I snip, I cut much closer together to create much more ragging. I think it looks so much nicer! Thanks for your video!

[@AdventuresofaDIYMom]

Great idea!

[@lindamateus9264]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I enjoyed watching your quilt come together. Looks great:)

Thank you for the kind words!

I’m a beginner and I have watched your UA-cam so many times. Thank you for teaching me how to make a rag quilt.

[@AdventuresofaDIYMom]

You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful.

[@yukonswimmom]

really good video- thank you! I can't tell if both fabrics are flannel or are they quilting cotton? Can you make a rag quilt with just quilting cotton? I have so much fabric I want to use up, and not go buy a bunch of flannel. Any advice is welcomed.

[@AdventuresofaDIYMom]

My very first rag quilt was made from cotton fabric. So yes, you can use cotton.

[@lethasarten3284]

I just love this quilt my only question is what is the measurements if the quilt after it is finished

[@AdventuresofaDIYMom]

The lap quilt finishes at 48” X 54”. You can find a few more size options in the blog post: www.adventuresofadiymom.com/2022/10/how-to-make-rag-quilt-easy-tutorial.html

[@lethasarten3284]

Thank you so much I really appreciate the information

[@lingdynasty4606]

Are both layers flannel in this quilt? I love the fabrics you chose. ❤

[@AdventuresofaDIYMom]

Both outer layers are flannel, the middle layer is batting.

[@MrImog65]

What size is this and what type of material do you use cuz I would like to make my daughter a king size rag quilt using cotton on front and back in batting in the middle. I know the ragging will look different if not with flannel but that's okay

[@AdventuresofaDIYMom]

This blanket is 48” X 70”. I used 3 1/4 yards fabric each he big two different colors. Hopefully that will help you calculate the amount you need. I used flannel for this blanket. Good luck with your project!

[@sandycase5560]

What kind of materials are you using? Cotton or flannel?

[@AdventuresofaDIYMom]

I use flannel. It frays quite well for rag quilts.

[@lynettethebrunette8969]

Hi, I wanted to see you after it was clipped...I am confused...please see if you can understand this. When you have sewn it all together, it seems that before you actually cut it that it's smashed down in the corners. Not sure if you understand what I mean. WHen you first sew the strips right side up it's fine. It's sewing the square strips together where I get confused. Are we supposed to undo it in that lil corner so it stands up? It seems no one has gone over this part...Please help

[@lmiz8011]

Did I miss you sewing all the way around the outside of the quilt!?

[@annebettencourt9587]

Wondering … do you increase your stitch length?

[@TerriMagoo]

❤❤❤

[@DianeMcCullumConley-dp2tf]

How many pieces for a adult quilt

[@joankeckstein4246]

Batting? How thick or no batting??

[@AdventuresofaDIYMom]

I didn’t add batting- the blanket was already thick and heavy from the puffs so I didn’t want to add more bulk

[@joankeckstein4246]

Gotcha!

[@anndalynnketellapper8296]

You could use 100 % cotton batting which is pretty thin, or you can use a middle layer of flannel…yes 3 pieces of flannel. I have made several rag quilts and I have never used batting or the third layer of flannel. It depends on how warm you want the quilt.

[@joankeckstein4246]

Thank you for such a quick reply! I understand. ☺️

I hate sitting here watching people cut fabric. Thank God for fast forward

[@JaniceWaters-yv8jh]

So do I, but it does say in the title for beginners….
