Thanks all. Yes, just go to you tube and then search rag quilt. Several different ones with come up. I watched a couple of them and then started doing one.

It's really simple, cut 8" squares for your quilt top, then 8" squares for your backing, and I cut 6" batton(I used low loft batton) it was perfect, for each square to lay between the front an back square, the sew 1/2" all the way around that square.

Then joint the squares with the seam on top of quilt, it will show. Once all the squares are jointed, I did 5 squares across and 5 squares down, love the size, but you could make it a big as you would like, you clip every 1/2 or so along the seams that showing on top. Also, once joined sew a 1/2 around the out edge too. The outer edge will also be clipped 1/2 all the way around.

Wash it and pull off all the remaining loose threads and that's all there is to it. It's so easy and you will love making it!

Hope, this helps. I
