I saw a pack of 6 flannel fat quarters on sale the other day so I picked up 2 of them. I made this cute rag quilt for Emma last weekend. I wanted to use as much of the fat quarter as possible so I decided to cut them into strips. Then I cut the strips into a few different sizes and laid it out.
The front and back are exactly the same. My son helped me by pulling it off the design wall and finding it's match. I sewed them together, no batting on this quilt. My daughter cut all the edges for me. I finished my part in about an hour. The quilt really needed 8 fat quarters for each side so the size of quilt is a little off. But when I used it yesterday to cover Emma while I rocked her, it was actually a good fit.
Lucky Emma! Kudos to daughter - Cutting the edges is the hardest part of making this quilt. I have also used another layer of flannel in the middle to give the edges a added bit of color. Never thought of making one out of strips, mine have always been made with squares. Thanks for sharing.
