This can be made using either flannel or cotton fabric! And if you want to make it super lightweight, omit the batting. The variations are endless! Only requirement: Have fun making it!
Supplies Needed:

Batting (low loft)
Cutting mat
Rotary cutter
Acrylic ruler
Hinged snippers
Sewing machine
Cotton thread
scissors
(Final approx. quilt dimensions: 39.5"W x 54"L. Minor shrinkage possible due to drying.)

What an adorable quilt, Im going to try to make one, I will be a grandma for the first time, so I will try to make one the baby will arrive late February 2023, so I will start now!!! Baby reveal will be Sept or early October, so will use different baby colors. Pink, blue, yellow and mint green, I think it will look cute.🤷 Thanks you for sharing your adorable quilt.

Hi, Donna! Thank you so much! Congratulations on being a Grandma! New life is so precious! Our first grandbaby was born in January and we are smitten!! Your choice of colors sound perfect! Have fun!

Hello. I too am new to quilting. I’m sure I’m going to need a different foot, my sewing machine is very inexpensive and tiny. Is that what I ask for? A quilting foot? I’m sorry if the question seems silly! Your video was my favorite. You explained the reason behind everything and it was not overly long. Thank you for the tutorial!

@authenticallyamber99 Год назад

Thanks so much! Welcome to the fun world of quilting! A walking foot is very useful when quilting. :)

@yellowrose4125 8 месяцев назад

❤ So the size you are making in this video will only be for a baby quilt size, so for a queen size quilt, would I need 2 yards of each color plus more for whatever backing I choose?? (First time quilter here, lol).

@authenticallyamber99 8 месяцев назад

There are all sorts of quilting calculator apps but you will need roughly 8 yards of fabric for a Queen Size quilt for the front and another 8 yards for the back. If it were me, I’d begin with a throw size rag quilt and work my way up. That way, you can gain experience as you go. 🩷 Thanks for watching and happy quilting! 🌷

Just viewing your video it’s beautiful 😍. I would like to make one for a friend who had a baby but, I made a birth announcement that I crossed stitch and I would like to attach to the quilt. Any suggestions as to how to attach?

@authenticallyamber99 2 года назад

Thank you so much! You could hand sew the cross stitch onto one of the squares or machine sew. Sounds lovely. 😃🌸

@58Athena58 4 года назад

When you are snipping the edge of the quilt how do you do the corners?

@authenticallyamber99 4 года назад

I've always just treated them like the straight edges of the quilt and continued even spaced snips, however the last few I've done, I've snipped at an angle on the corner. Either way works. Just a matter of preference. Thanks for watching!

Can I use cotton material instead of flannel for a rag quilt

@authenticallyamber99 Год назад

Yes, you can. It just won’t rag up as nicely as the flannel. Try it and see if you like it. If not, try it with the flannel. 😃 Thanks for watching! 🌷

@Betrsafthensory Год назад

Hello, I was wondering if you could use a cotton fabric along with a flannel fabric, or does it need to be all flannel? That is a beautiful quilt you made. Thank you for sharing. ❤️ 🙂

@authenticallyamber99 Год назад

Yes, you absolutely can use cotton along with the flannel fabric. The only difference will be in the ragging effect in between the seams. It will still rag up but will just be a thinner appearance. Try it out on a small project and see if you like it. The wonderful thing about quilting is it’s a beautiful creative outlet that allows you to be the designer! Blessings! 💝

Beautiful!! How many yards of batting?

@authenticallyamber99 Год назад

Thank you! Depending on the size you want to make, but I’d say about 2 yards. Batting also comes in select sizes (crib, twin, queen, etc) so you can also purchase by the bag rather than by the yard.

Hi, Tina! Thanks so much! You know, I realize that many suggest pre-washing fabric...I just never have taken the time to do that. That said, I'm not an expert...Haha! I suppose, for optimal results, one should take the time to pre-wash. :) Blessings & thanks for watching!

@vickyls8132 3 года назад

Hi, do I prewash fabric before cutting?

@authenticallyamber99 3 года назад

Hi, Vicky! Some people do, but I never have and it's been fine. I think if you use a good quality fabric, it shouldn't shrink much, but it's personal preference. Thanks for watching! Blessings!

Did that make a Twin size? I have made them back when I was a 4-H'er but I'm watching your video as a refresher for Girl Scout Troop Silver Project. We're making twin and twin xl blankets for Foster Care and Operation First Response. This video was a GREAT help!!!

You can use a disappearing ink pen to draw the line corner to corner using a ruler. There’s also seam tape you can adhere to sewing machine to follow the straight line.

@rinsesshomaru4789 4 года назад

Flannel? As in flannelette? As in janmy jams fabric?

@authenticallyamber99 4 года назад

Flannel fabric from a good fabric store or Walmart. Not flannelette...at least I haven't used that before. I suppose you could, although the flannel makes it to rag up nicely once you've snipped all the edges.
