| Rag Quilt....Thanks Tena for the Inspiration!!! Thanks to Tena's thread about her rag quilt and the suggestion of a youtube video tutorial, I made Jada a rag quilt this morning. I love these and this is going to be what I do for baby showers in the future. Thanks Tena!!!!

| I love the colors! I am getting ready to make one, too. Check out the " Faux Chennille " blankets on utube. They make beautiful baby gifts. |

| Ya'll are inspiring me. I have always been afraid of my sewing machine. I might have to get it out and try one of these. I have a great niece due the end of October.

| Thanks ya'll!!! I used fabric I had on hand and it is cotton. The next one I do, I am going to get flannel. My SIL is going to be a grandmother for the first time in a couple of months...got to find some boy fabric.

| Oh, I want to try one out of cotton too, I think after the washing it would fringe just beautiful. Yes, that would be a wonderful baby girft and so snuggly I know at JoAnn Fabric they have some gorgeous snuggle flannel prints. Can't wait to see it!

| Wow! Great job and great colors! I want to try this too. Now just to find the time! Does it sound harder than it is to make?

| It really isn't hard, just a little time consuming. I cut out my squares and put them together last night, not sure how long it took, but not too long. I started sewing them together this morning and was done in about 2 hrs...but that was stopping and starting, not sitting at the sewing machine non stop. I think even a beginner to sewing could do this.

| I need your opinions....I collect antique glass, kitchenware and linens and my grandmother has given me a lot of her things from the 30's and 40's. I have several of her old flour sacks (she used to make my mom and her sisters clothes from them). I just thought, wouldn't that be a great keepsake for my granddaughter, to make a rag quilt from some of them. I hate to cut them up, but I just have them in storage and this way they can be seen. What would you do?

| Jadabug, I would use them to make the quilt. I have a quilt made from my my old clothing from childhood, I love it so much it is one of my most valued items. Honestly, the old clothing did nothing but took up space. Now I look at the squares on the quilt and remember so many good times in my life.
