If you are cutting the fabric yourself, then traditionally you will cut your rag after you have everything sewn together. Google rag quilt tutorials. There are a ton out there, and they are very easy to make. Good luck!Garland Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410882194113456915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946372387595691165.post-86354153760202340802013-03-07T18:41:48.730-06:002013-03-07T18:41:48.730-06:00I have been wanting to make one of these for some ...I have been wanting to make one of these for some time but was not sure how to do it. Thanks for sharing. Also do you have to snip the sides before you sew or can you do it after you get it together?<br />Conniefrugallivingonthewatkinsranch.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275164585460071746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946372387595691165.post-24672357175948397152013-02-18T12:46:38.371-06:002013-02-18T12:46:38.371-06:00Sewing, even with problems with the machine, relax...Sewing, even with problems with the machine, relaxes me.

Although, my last machine had a tension issue, so whenever I used it JW thought he was married to a sailor.<br />It is pretty much a quilt as you go. The great thing about rag quilting is all of the seams are on the outside, so it's very forgiving. I can't sew a straight line to save my life, so this is pretty easy to do.Garland Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410882194113456915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946372387595691165.post-65556907251060100022013-02-12T22:22:16.604-06:002013-02-12T22:22:16.604-06:00I've got you beat.

YOURS looks lovely, and your photos present a CALM appearance, instead of the "I FEEL LIKE I'M KILLING SNAKES HERE!" attitude that I had. It was anything but relaxing.<br /><br />It also looks like you're making a 'quilt as you go'.
