Sewing Is Done.

I have the rag quilt done and clipped, just not washed yet.  I like the way it turned out. Plus I used flannel I had in my stash.

I've been toying with the idea of counting how much stash I use, but I really don't want to take the time to add up how much stash I actually have.  So I won't worry about it and I'll just enjoy using it.

It's Getting There

Made more progress on my rag quilt tonight.  I have all the blocks sewn into rows and am now sewing the rows together.  I have 4 rows done.  I know I'll have this quilt all sewn by this weekend.  Just when will I get it washed I don't know, as I hate to go to the laundromat.

Sewing Along

Thought you might like to see some of the other dog flannels I'm using in this rag quilt.  I cut and sewed more blocks last night and again tonight.  Hope to have it done this weekend.  At the rate it's going, should happen.

WIP or New Project?

I don't know whether to call this a work in progress (WIP) or a new project.  I have had the jean squares cut out for a couple of years.  I had boxes and boxes of old jeans from my son, my husband and myself, that I finally cut into 6.5 inch squares a couple of summers ago.  I made one rag quilt here in 2009 after cutting all the squares. 

I want to make a quilt to be used outside by the kids if they need to sit down and cool off.  Especially now that the weather is getting warmer. (We take books outside for the kids to read or be read to and it would be nice to have a blanket to sit on.)

Friday night I cut some dog flannel into the 6.5 inch squares and tonight I started sewing them together to make a rag quilt. Not so sure I want to clip all the seams so I just may find out how much it will fray without all the clipping.
