Rag quilt explanation

A couple of people asked for a rag quilt explanation so here you are. This is probably the easiest quilt in the world to make and yet I still love the look of it. Here's a bit of a tutorial in case you're serious about trying it out. http://www.knitandtonic.typepad.com/SimpleRagQuilt.pdf Basically, what I do, is cut a bunch of squares, sew two together (wrong sides together) with Xs going diagonally across the square and then sew squares to squares with the seams all sticking out on the same side. Oh my, that's a horrible explanation. Maybe check out the tutorial. After it's all sewn together you just snip the sticking out seams about 1/2 cm apart and wash it a couple of times to get a nice frayed look. They are such cozy blankets - such a fave for us! And...super easy!
