The rag quilt technique creates wonderfully soft, frayed edges that become even more comfortable with each wash. This pattern uses simple block construction with easy-to-follow instructions, making it an excellent project for quilters looking to try the popular rag quilt method. The design alternates between different block styles to create visual interest while maintaining the rustic, homey appeal that makes rag quilts so beloved.
What You'll Need:
This pattern includes complete cutting instructions for seven different fabrics, including flannel batting and backing materials. The quilt uses a straightforward block assembly method where you sandwich batting between your top and backing pieces, then quilt and clip the seam allowances to create the characteristic frayed edges.
Block Assembly:
The pattern features two main block types that are assembled using the same sandwich technique. Blocks are quilted with a simple X pattern, leaving unquilted borders that will fray beautifully when washed. The layout alternates blocks in a seven-row, five-block arrangement that creates a balanced, visually appealing design.
Finishing Instructions:
Complete step-by-step instructions guide you through sewing the blocks together, adding the perimeter seam, and creating the signature clipped edges that give rag quilts their cozy texture. The pattern includes helpful tips for washing and caring for your finished rag quilt.
