Cuddly Rag Quilts

Rag quilts are quick and easy to make. I call them quilt in a day projects, as this is literally how long it takes to make one, including the washing and drying of the quilt at the end. Their edges are described as frayed, raw or rag, hence their name. The best fabrics to use when making one are flannel, denim or homespun cottons. I make mine from flannel (winter pj fabric). Not only are these quilts reversible, they are machine washable and able to be dried in the dryer!! The range of flannel fabric available is fabulous, there are plaids, plains, brights, pastels, childrens and more.

I have used 4 different flannel fabrics and a machine washable batting in the middle. It is a very soft and cuddly quilt.

This size is great used as a dolls blanket or as a snuggle blanket for children.

This lap quilt is a larger version of the above quilt also made from flannel fabric.

I have used a 5 x 5 square layout with 12 of those squares being made up of rectangles. You can use any combination of squares and fabric variations.

This size quilt is great as a lap quilt and children find all sorts of uses for this size quilt. Again the beauty of these quilts is that they can be machine washed and dried!!

You can bind your quilt with a standard quilt binding giving the quilt a more finished look.

To view a few extra designs visit these.

The first is based on the log cabin quilt style. The next quilt uses the applique technique. This is an ideas page for you to make your own applique quilt using your own designs and fabric shape size. Be inspired when you visit the applique rag quilt. This homespun quilt is made using the square in a square design.
