Check out this fun and easy cotton rag quilt tutorial. Rag quilts are a great way to start your quilt making journey. So pick some fabric you love, grab your ruler and rotary cutter and let's make a rag quilt. I will walk you through each step. And just for fun, put the number of different shirts you see in the video in the comments below. :-)
Join Diane and I as we show you how to make a rag quilt using quilting cotton and batting. I share Diane's rag quilt along with her layout diagram which can be helpful if you don't want any of your like fabrics side by side. Diane also uses the same fabric for her backing that looks great!
