I made one for me, my DH and my other family members. DH is gone almost 10 yrs. so that's never used. Whenever I make a donation baby quilt, it's always a rag quilt. I don't do the quilting so rag quilts are great for me donation-wise since it actually gets done and donated--LOL!Sherrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525739431209937725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-25675426287073111552022-05-16T16:10:53.430-07:002022-05-16T16:10:53.430-07:00You reminded me that I have two flannel baby quilt...You reminded me that I have two flannel baby quilts that I started last year, and you've guessed it, they have stalled. As for raggy quilts, I'm quite a fan of those too. I was given a bunch of gingham so I've cut squares out, and two lots of flannel, I dont use batting in raggy quilts myself.

I made rag quilts for Christmas one year and did in the filter on the washing machine. It was entirely filled with bits of fabric/thread. After replacing the filter, DHs solution was to take the rest of the quilts to the laundromat and wash them there the first time. Poor, unsuspecting laudromat. Since then, on the few rag items I've made I have used a stiff bristle brush and "frayed" the edges with it to save my appliances. Easier to clean up of the mess than have a repairman now that there is no longer a resident engineer.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449351458689631173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-81774040109635512142022-05-16T07:36:43.572-07:002022-05-16T07:36:43.572-07:00It's none of my business, but I have to protes...It's none of my business, but I have to protest against topping trees.
