Rag Quilt

One of the latest trends in quilting

A rag quilt is not made out of rags. It gets its name from the fact that the seam allowances on the front of the quilt are exposed and left to fray and unravel when washed, giving the quilt a ragged-look.

A rag quilt is a patchwork style quilt normally made with square blocks. It is an ideal project for first-time quilter because you only need to know how to sew a straight line and it go together quickly.

Traditional quilts are normally made with cotton fabric but when making a rag quilts you can used cotton and some unconventional fabrics such as flannel, homespun, polar fleece and denim.
