Quilt number 18We call her “the sun”

Oklahoma
3/6 Edited to

... Read moreCreating a rag quilt like "The Sun" has always been one of my favorite quilting projects due to its cozy texture and distinctive look. Rag quilts stand out because of their fringed seams, which not only add softness but also lend a rustic charm that traditional quilts often lack. When I made my version of a "sun-themed" rag quilt, I chose warm yellows, oranges, and subtle reds to mimic sunlight and warmth. The choice of fabric is important—using cotton flannel gives the quilt a soft hand feel and excellent warmth, making it perfect for chilly evenings. One tip I've found helpful is to prewash all fabrics to prevent shrinking and color bleeding later. Also, when sewing the rag seams, clip the edges carefully without cutting through the stitching to achieve the signature fluffy fringe after washing. Quilts like "The Sun" not only serve as functional blankets but also as personal art pieces that tell a story. Whether you are an experienced quilter or just starting, rag quilts offer a rewarding blend of creativity and comfort that make them cherished heirlooms or heartfelt gifts. If you’re considering making your own rag quilt, start with a clear color palette inspired by your favorite themes—like sunshine for warmth or ocean tones for calmness. This approach makes the quilting process more enjoyable and your finished quilt more meaningful.

Quilting the quilt 😍
I’m not completely sure how I’m going about this, but for right now, I’m sewing boxes inside the orange squares. I decided to work by hand and it’s better than I thought 🥳 #quilt #quilting #sewing #handsewing #knitting #crocheting #diy #blanket #roomdecor #backtoschool

my second rag quilt❤️👨🏻‍🚒
these are becoming one of my fav things to make honestly. they’re pretty time consuming but so easy, especially considering any other way to quilt is so much more complicated! this is for my dads bday, he’s been a fire fighter for around 15 years and doesn’t have any cool quilts / blankets for it
