Flag Rag Quilt


Richard has a cousin with a kid about Jared's age ie 10 that wanted to make a quilt .  


 He had the idea of recycling old flag


We decided on a blue flannel for the back.


We added some off white to round out the quilt.


The squares were 5 inch instead of our normal 6. 


He helped to sew x's while Richard sewed them together to form the rows.


Picture of the finished quilt.


We got it done all in one Saturday.  We washed it, although we sent it home wet.  We know what to expect with  a rag quilt and didn't want to clog his families washing machine.  We went back to the traditional non high-efficiency washing machine about a month ago. Too many problems, with all our rag quilts and kids not checking pockets.

Owl & Dot Rag Quilt


While going through different boxes of fabric for rag quilts, I found the last little bit of owl fabric.  It seems to be one of our most popular ones on Etsy. I didn't have enough for just pink and the owl fabric, so I added some fun polka dots.


This rag quilt has three layers of flannel, so the edges are extra fluffy.

Broken Chevron


This is a quilt that is similar to one that was  requested for a customer on etsy.  


We decided that we would do narrower strips of white the next one we do.  I don't know what to refer to this quilt as, so I have just called it Broken Chevron.  Any suggestions for a name?  


There was a lot of wasted fabric in the making of this quilt, so Richard figured out a way to have a lot less waste. The back is leftovers.  It is quilted in dense vertical lines in front, everywhere but the white lines. 


I don't know if I like the front or the back better. 
This fabric line used in this quilt is Petal Poetry Swirl by Exclusively Quilters.
Look for a similar quilt coming up soon for a repeat customer.  This one is available on our Etsy store.
