Rag Quilt Time Again

Over the long Thanksgiving weekend Richard made a comment that I hadn't made a rag quilt for quite some time, so I made three.  The first had two fabrics, but seemed somewhat boring, so I had to add something to it.  I hit a Black Friday sale for a few pieces of flannel to complete some rag quilts.  I was very reserved and only came out with 2 yards of a few prints and 6-8 yards of a couple of solids.  Much better than my 12+ bolts last year.  Here is the first. I had the  dots and pink already but not quite enough to make a quilt.

I added the butterfly print to the mix.

The quilt has been added to Etsy store.  Richard is busy working on a quilt for our oldest James.  It is a twin size, hopefully it will be done for Christmas.

Second Chevron Quilt

Here is the second  chevron quilt.  It is out of Ticklish by Me and My Sisters.  One of the things I like is scrappy styled quilts.  It can be the 2 1/2 inch random blocks or as this quilt is random colors to make a chevron pattern.

I love the modern concept but, don't pull it off well most of the time.  One thing I really like to look for and often am disappointed in quilts is the back.  I like to see how people tie it into the front.  For the backs of my Chevron quilts I wanted to have a single chevron off at a angle and I just love how it turned out.  This quilt is based off our chevron quilt pattern you can find it on either our etsy store or our craftsy store.
