Thank you for this. Trying to figure out the rag quilt for my daughter's 4H project. I love the mini jokes throughout the video. You brought many smiles to my face. 😂
Another layer of flannel works in the middle of your fabric square too. Then all your squares can be the same size, and you just cut thru all 3 layers . I like to use a contrasting solid flannel.
Great video. Maybe when you are telling how to layer block you could correct the " put wrong side down" to first, bottom, square. For new sewers they may not realize it should be right side down, then batt, then right side up. I love your videos, all of them. Always starts my day with a smile, thank you.
I am so glad I checked out your tutuorial! Although I have been an avid sewer, at last I am attempting a machine sewn quilt! I did not know that the "ragged edge came from clipping. I thought I needed to sew a long gathered strip on the seam. Imagine how "involved" that would have been!!!! Thanks so much for the instruction. I am looking forward to the quick and easy method.
Omg, I didn’t realize I didn’t know how to do a rag quilt! That’s awesome and easy! Great idea for a picnic blanket! I have a bunch of old flannel. Thank you Brianna! I’m so excited!
Thank you Brianna! Really nice job of explaining everything. I love when you said this is the quilt you take to the park and have picnics on. That is what I want a quilt that is used!
Love your video. Fun and colorful quilt behind you. The other samples are awesome. Personally for me after having made several rag quilts. I prefer to snip as I see the rows. Then when the quilt is all put together the only snipping I need to do is the outer border. Easier on my arthritic hands. The joy of this kind of quilt you can do it either way. Love the sheep and teddy bear. one with the four patch.
@@winterstitches81 I did use flannel both in the middle and on the front of the blocks. I would suggest using larger squares... a 8 or 10 inch, just to practice. Mine used around 300 squares that started at 5 inches. It looks really nice, but cutting all those edges was s lot of work.
Thank you Brianna for this great video. I love the different examples that you showed us. I have wanted to make one of these and just purchased some flannels with a rag quilt in mind last week, so the timing of this video is awesome!!
I didn't hear you say it, but I would suggest you remind people to clean out their dryer filter frequently after drying this quilt; especially after the first time (or take it to the laundromat)...maybe after every one of those 30-minute drying increments...or, depending on the size of the quilt, even more frequently...
I LOVE these Brianna! Already have the Spring Rabbits pattern. I think the Tridazzle rag is a super idea and would look so very cool. Thank you so very much for doing this video. I do think I need the better of the Fiskars scissors but hope they fit my small hands easily. Going to watch this one a few more times - LOL! Love your picnic quilt!
Great tutorial, thank you Brianna! And the quilt behind you is gorgeous, but those don't look like 10-inch squares. Can you please share with us what size squares they are?
I am planning to use cotton for the top and flannel for the batting and solid fleece for the back. Is there a way to have the back all one piece and sew the other 2 layers to it. I am in a hurry to make the before granddaughter takes off for college
No it is down. Your first step is to make a little mini quilt. You stack wrong sides together with a piece of batting in the middle and quilt a little X on them. And then sew them all together
Ooooooooooh, ok, you mean "wrong side down", as in the wrong side of the actual quilt, but for us new quilters, it sounds like you mean "wrong side of the fabric down"!
I live on the coast of Tx. I am making one with light weight batting, flannel backing and quilters cotton for the top. It is going to be very lightweight with some softness.
That’s a really good question. Woven fabric is a cotton fabric that is woven rather than printed so it has no wrong side. We have a video that shares all of the different types of fabrics for you. I’ll link it.
Anything that frays easily such as toweling, linens. There’s a woven section on the website, too. Basically, it’s a looser weave than traditional quilting cotton.
I understand, that makes perfect sense. Check out this video Cindi did explaining all the difference of quilting fabics, including wovens, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3sL-rwe9T2o.html
