Greetings from Christchurch New Zealand. I'm so going to make this ragged quilt! I've got a large stash of denim and boxes of leftover fabrics that I'm keen to use. I've just got back to watching you after a very busy Christmas time, with family staying with us for Australia for a few weeks. I gave my 44yr old son a Star War quilt for his birthday, just after Christmas. (He's a Star Wars nerd - his boys are discussing who's going to inherit it!) I've currently got 2 quilts on the go. A Harry Potter for my granddaughter and a double bed New Zealand Kiwiana fabric one. It's such a pleasure tuning in to see what crafting you are up to. Warm regards Anne K Christchurch New Zealand
Oh my goodness the colors are beautiful! Wonderful gift. Here is a tip…if you change your needle plate to the one with just a small hole instead of the slit, your fabric won’t get eaten when you are stitching. Someone shared this with me and it works perfect. So I’m passing it on to you.
I love the colors and everything. I was a sceptic at first when you started to cut the seams up. I thought it will not look nice at the end, but after washing it turned out very beautiful. Absolutly my favored quilt! 🥰
Your rag quilt is, as usual, very lovely. Whoever receives it is a lucky person. I’ve made two of these quilts. The second one was made out of leftover flannel with an outdoor woodsman print. This was given to my grandson as a gift for his birthday a few years ago. The fabric was leftover from a quilt I made for his Father ( not a rag quilt), long before he was born. I was so excited to make the second rag quilt but my excitement has been satisfied, no more for me….too tedious. ❤
I’ve made plenty of baby rag quilts, but never tried an adult size! I do love the way they look when they come out of the dryer!! Your quilt is fantastic!!!
That quilt is beautiful. You are quite skilled at hand sewing, as well, as I've seen in your other videos I just recently found your channel as it popped up in my feed one day. I have been crocheting for about 50 years, knitting for about 35 years, and I have made 2 quilts which I pieced by machine and hand-quilted in frames. One was a nine-patch alternated with appliqued blocks, and the other was a pattern called Bear's Paw here, but you might know it by another name. I made each of those as gifts years ago, and have all the pieces cut for a 3rd quilt top. Those pieces have been put away for about 30 years now. Watching your channel has reinvigorated my interest in quilting, so I'm going to dig those pieces out and finish the top. It has curved seams and sharp points, so I was doing it all by hand, and planned to hand quilt it. I guess I got tired, put it away, went on to other projects, and never picked it up again. I am keen to try your hand-quilting-on-your-lap technique. It looks so soothing and meditative. I recently retired, and have been crocheting a lot, but I think I will start working on that quilt again. I think the pattern was called Turkey Tracks, which I found in a book of quilting patterns. Love your channel, and I will be watching some of your older videos for tips. I will never be too old to learn new tricks. Hah! One tip that you might think goes without saying, but I've taught sewing classes and now know not to assume anything. Whatever type of craft you're working on, wash your hands and do not use lotion before picking it up. You just pet the dog or cat? Wash your hands again. Dirt, lotions and body oils will dirty your thread and leave smudges on your work that might not show up right away. Merry Christmas to you from Huntsville, Alabama, USA.
❤❤❤ I love it. Using a flannel sheet for the inside is a great idea and allows you to cut at the same size as the block. Great job! That’s a lot of work. Thanks for the tutorial. ❤🎄 Merry Christmas
Oooh rag quilts are my fave....so cosy and snuggly. Ive only ever done squares same size so looking forward to trying your mixed size version. Im a cotton flannelette girl (born in 1960s) lol. Thanks for a fabulous how to video.....youre an amazing and lovely teacher xx❤❤
Que linda as cores da colcha!! Terminei a colcha rag quilt que fiz para a minha filha e te agradeço tua ajuda quanto ao tamanho dos quadrados que você me respondeu no Instagram em setembro. Muito obrigada. Ficou muito bonita, mas não quis lavar por enquanto então não ficaram tão desfiadas as franjas. Um Lindo e Feliz Natal repleto de Paz, Amor e União com sua família ❤🎄🇧🇷
I’ve made many rag quilts, mostly with flannel. I use the same scissors as you and found that holding a metal ruler along the seam prevents me from clipping through the thread. I also wash and dry mine at a laundromat with a pair of sneakers as it helps with the fraying process. And my machine always needs a good clean afterwards with all the flannel fuzz! Beautiful with the denim and batik!
This video is just what I needed. I have a rag quilt to make and I had forgotten how I did the last one. Love the batik fabric with the denim. I was planning to use the leftover bits of batting but I may switch so the seams are fluffier. Thanks Rachel.
Happy new year to you and your family.🎉You are a real inspiration to me and others. I have quilted for some time, but thanks to you I have broke out of my safe zone . I am trying foundation paper piecing, and rope bowls. ThankYou, I will look forward to more u tube The new year. All the best🇨🇦
Fantastic results for your rag quilt. Surely this quilt is going to make someone very happy. Thank you for sharing and I’d like to wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.👍❤️😊
Beautiful! Love the batiks in with the denim ! Flannel instead of batting is a great idea ! Merry Christmas to you and your family from New Brunswick, Canada !
Love this! I have been trying to decide what fabric to pair with fishing fabric I have for our grandsons. I will be purchasing this denim! Thank you & Merry Christmas to you ans your family🎄❤️🎄
Fiskars makes specialty rag quilt scissors. They help tremendously and were worth the price. I like the denim fabric. The two I made were made with flannel front and back (1 had flannel for the center layer, 1 had no center layer {my favorite}) . They are very cozy and warm. Good tip about the duvet cover as my dryer was a shocking mess.
The Denim and Brights combo feels like how I wished my room looked in the Early 2000s lol, Rag Quilting has absolutely been Mysterious to me until now so I'm excited to finally have the secrets and give it a shot!

If the tips of your scissors are dull you can snip through some sandpaper a few times to sharpen them up.

I really like this quilt, and the tip of putting it in a duvet cover when washing was so helpful💕🌷
LOVE this quilt SO much!! Beautiful!!....and you're so delightful!...What a joy you are! Thank you for sharing your projects and kindness!
They make special snips with small, dense, sharp blades especially for cutting rag quilts! Game changer!

Hi Lisa, that is a great tip but sadly my machine doesn't come with additional stitch plates but definitely on my list to buy
@@stitchwithrachel
Same.
@ you would for your advertising for them, they might be happy to send you one free of charge! lol. Just joking. Have a wonderful Christmas
This might be my first quilting project. I absolutely love it!
Hope you enjoy it!
I absolutely love this type of quilting. Thanks you for sharing. I've been wanting ideas of what to make with my denim scraps. ❤❤❤❤❤
It looks like a stained glass window! Great job and thanks for your channel. Great content !
Your quilt is gorgeous!! The person receiving it will be thrilled!! ❣
Love this idea, especially when quilting can seem so daunting! Thank you x
I have made so many baby quilts out of flannel just like this, so fast - it’s a one day project! I want to do a denim one, to use as a picnic quilt.
That would be wonderful 💖
One channel I watch on rag quilts cuts as she sews making it easy!
I love the colors and everything. I was a sceptic at first when you started to cut the seams up. I thought it will not look nice at the end, but after washing it turned out very beautiful. Absolutly my favored quilt! 🥰
I love it! I've been collecting old jeans to make a rag quilt with. Thank you for sharing! 😊

It's such a transformation isn't it!
Beautiful!! I’ve never made a quilt before but this makes me want to try it. Thank you so much for all the great information!
What an absolutely wonderful rag quilt. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this quilt Rachel! I like to snip a little here and there as i go. Easier on the hands ❤

This a great rag quilt variation. The color choices are very pleasing.
The colors are beautiful!!! I had never seen a rag quilt made. Thanks!!!
Wonderful tutorial. I love the combo.of denim and batiks. This will be the next quilt I make.

Lovely rag quilt! You can also use flannel yardage for your middle later, but I’d bet you found a more affordable option in sheets. Great idea.
Excellent and really fun
A good project to offer to a young person
Wonderful work!! Greetings from Mexico!!🎉🎉🎉
I have 2 I made with my mom that live on the couch year round, there’s nothing like a flannel quilt to make a loving room look cozy 😊

Thanks, some really good tips and the quilt came out beautifully- I’m sure the recipient will be thrilled
I have made 2 of these for my grandchildren. They are so much fun to make. I used flannel for the front and a minky fabric on the back.

Beautiful quilt. I now want to make one. I have lots of batiks

What Brilliant tips!
That is STUNNING. I am looking forward to making one.
Wow! I never thought I would like a rag quilt, but your version is beautiful… the batik 4 patches shine like jewels in the cozy denim 💕
