RAG TIME!!!

Here are 4 color examples of a rag quilt. The first one (in pinks) is a 3 color combination; the second one (blue & green) is a 4 color combination; the third one (in blue & purple) is a 5 color combination; and the fourth one (in muted tones) is a 6 color combination. If you want to put more colors in your quilt let me know and I'll get you the yardage for each color. Also, each of the quilts are going to be "Crib Sized" (45"x60") if you want to make a quilt that is smaller or larger that this let me know and I'll figure the yardage for that.

Each square will be cut in a 6"x6" square, and I've allowed for a 1/2" seam allowance to allow for the "ragging". Let me know if you want a solid back or a pieced back and I can give you specific instructions for the assembly, according to your preference. You can also lay out your fabrics in your own pattern, it can look like a heart, diamond, diagonal, etc...

The quilts require a lot of squares, but I have 2 rotary cutters (I might be able to get 2 more from my sister before class) to aid in the cutting. If you'd like to cut your squares prior to class and want to use the rotary cutter, let me know and we'll get you started.
