Rag quilts are awesome and fun to stitch up. There are no right or wrong sides to a raggedy quilt. Both sides are pretty! The best fabric to use for making rag quilts are fabrics that rag or fray nicely, like: cotton, denim, homespun, and flannel.

This was made for a king size bed for a friend who is re-doing their room in red, black, and white colors with a black finish on the furniture.

Katherine made this Rag Quilt of beautiful fall colors, then she appliquéd autumn leaves on every other square.  She took 2nd place at a community fair in the quilt division.

Take a close look at the hearts and the trees, they are ragged.  The rest of the quilt is pieced patch work, but the hearts and trees were sewn on in two layers and then ragged.

Here is a raggedy flag quilt! Very Patriotic...

The other pretty side of a Rag Quilt...Both sides are the pretty sides of a Rag Quilt.  Here is Amber's miniature version of the quilt shown below.

To Learn More About Rag Quilt Making  we suggest A Year of Rag Quilts.   It's our favorite Raggedy Quilting book to use in our studio.  Also, we offer free photographed instructions on "How to Make a Rag Quilt" as an excellent guide for rag quilting.

A man we met at a Quilt Show made this beautiful Christmas Tree Rag Quilt.  When Amber saw it, we had to take her picture next to it since she made the mini version.
