When sewing with Gail we use a bag full of tags for projects we want to tackle. I know that the Rag Quilt was one I added to the mix.

I had bits and pieces of flannel left from other projects; I spent a day at the Guild cutting the fronts and the backs out, as well as going through my batting scraps.

Sewing the sandwiches together went very quickly; even stitching the squares and rows together didn’t take long. The longest time was spent trimming the edges to get the fraying effect after it was washed and dried. I did most of that job on the day we had our 12-hour power outage; I had plenty of light sitting at the kitchen table and snipping. It was a bit hard on the hands but I did it in small batches.

This will be a donation quilt.

I still have plenty of flannel left and if I’d get busy and do some more sandwiching I’d have lots of batting. Since the project was a quick one I’m sure I’ll make another.
