I’ve made many many rag quilts and although I’ve seen this method, I have not tried it yet. Looks easy enough and so much less work. Thanks for the tutorial. Very well done.
I just really enjoy your videos, you technique is so easy to follow. Any chance you would put out a video doing a T-shirt rag quilt? I would so love to see how you would make one.
The ruler inserted in the three layers when folding prior to sewing is genius! In the past I’ve tried using a million pins and the layers still shifted- thank you for all your tips.
By far the best rag quilt tutorial. No cross stitching or batting inserts. All flannel rag quilts are messy. Is happy to see this with cotton and denim.
Your cute family is fun to watch. Your sewing instructions are always so clear and you speak at a good pace for me to understand and follow. Thank you for more beginner tutorials lately.
Hello, I love all your tutorials. The way you speak makes it so easy to follow, you are straight and to the point and never too wordy ..which is a good thing! Thank you so much!!!
What a neat way to make a rag quilt. Thanks for sharing a different way to making one. 😁. I made the botanical quilt and passed it on to a friend whose mom has to use a wheel chair now. She absolutely loved it. Thanks for sharing your talents
A rag quilt was my first quilt. I haven't made one in a while, but after watching your tutorial I am going to make another! So cute! Thanks Sherrill!! Love the family getting in on your video!
This will definitely help me use up fabrics I have not been able to part with but they aren't really useful for other projects. Great tutorial, thank you.
Yes, less work however the down side of it, is that you can’t use various patterns in front, but that’s not so bad either. Just saying though in case someone hasn’t thought of that. It’s very nice though. I’ve yet to make one this way yet.
Thank you for sharing how to make a rag quilt the way you teach looks really easy can’t wait to try it . I am so excited when he gets to the end of the video to see how your family and friends that participate in sharing and subscribing to your channel 😊
This is interesting.I might give this a try. Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to make a bedspread? I've had a piece of fabric for 2 or three years that I've never been able to decide what to do with it. The other day I picked it up and I thought it would make a great bedspread, but I don't know how to make it.
You are Awsom! I have arthritis in my fingers. I am getting into sewing after 40yrs. I love that you write everything down and clearly. I have been watching for a long time. My first texting to you. You explain directions so well. Thank you so much.
That looks like a really fun project! I’m anxious to try that one. Thanks for another great video. Also really enjoyed the new video format and seeing some of your lovely home. It looks beautiful!
Thank you for this video. I tried to do a rag quilt with squares. I made a mess nothing lined up. I quite. Now I am going to make one. Should be successful this time.
I love the way you did the rectangle one, it looks easier then cutting out all the squares . My question is how big are the squares and how big does the blanket end up to be? And how many yards did you use? I might have missed this in your video
Very nice quilt. That craft bucket you had in the background in the beginning... Did you make that. I would love to learn how. Need some good looking storage in our craft room.
Hi James. I think you are talking about the tall bucket with roosters that was on my left side. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/1osFfyXN1Ao/v-deo.html Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
I would like to make a larger rag quilt maybe a twin or full. Do you have any ideas on how to do one using this method. Maybe with more than one color on each side. Thanks for any ideas.
Hi Debbie. It will take a little bit of math on your part. Measure the bed width and length. You may have to buy up to 6 yards of fabric - I'm guessing. Take your measurements to the fabric store, and they can help you determine how many yards to buy. I would start with a small lap quilt before making a bed size guilt. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.😍
Hi Beverley Hi Beverley. I recommend use 100% cotton fabrics because they unravel easier. Regular fleece is polyester and will not unravel. I have never used polar fleece for rag quilting. Cut a small piece and through it in the washer and dryer and see what happens. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
Hi Emily. It is always a good idea to wash cotton fabrics, especially fabrics dark. The colors can run into other fabrics on a quilt. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
Hi Teresa. You can start out with any size of square. Or you can start out with a rectangle - any size. Here is a link to a rectangle rag quilt with a different pattern. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. ua-cam.com/video/KR5LqeeNYo0/v-deo.html

Sounds beautiful. Exactly what is a botanical quilt? Plants and flowers?
@@Mygraciously Hello. She did a beginners botanical lap size quilt about 11-12 months ago. Check out her video. Happy sewing
I love making rag quilts. I made a rag quilt pillow as a farewell gift.

I can't believe how much easier this method is...I've cut so many squares making rag quilts....unreal!!

Question. If you're using flannel for a rag quilt, do you prewash the flannel? I know flannel shrinks a fair bit.
Hi Sharon. Yes I would pre-wash all fabrics. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
When you put the ragged side towards you, it keeps you warmer as it creates air pockets.
What size was your beginning fabric? It looks so easy.
Hi Kathy. When you purchase the flannel it is about 42" wide off the bolt. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Very nice quilt. That craft bucket you had in the background in the beginning... Did you make that. I would love to learn how. Need some good looking storage in our craft room.

Did you cut the fabric 40x40?
Hi Julie. Yes. Thanks for watching💗and happy New Year😍
Do you wash the flannel? Wouldn’t it shrink more than the cotton?
Hi Kimberly. Flannel is also cotton, and it will shrink. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
Has anyone tried using a laundromat dryer
I have not. Merry Christmas. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
hi,Can you use polar fleece to make a rag quilt.Thankyou
Hi Beverley

Do you wash the fabric before you put together?
Hi Emily. It is always a good idea to wash cotton fabrics, especially fabrics dark. The colors can run into other fabrics on a quilt. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
So my beginning square is 40” ?
Hi Teresa. You can start out with any size of square. Or you can start out with a rectangle - any size. Here is a link to a rectangle rag quilt with a different pattern. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. ua-cam.com/video/KR5LqeeNYo0/v-deo.html
I wish you could fast forward
