Actually, Tania, I asked the question for you. We were at a quilt show in
Pensacola and I put my hand on a rag quilt that felt so very, incredibly
wonderful. Ah. Yes.
Asked about it here on rctq then and heard such messy experiences on the
Life and Times of living with a rag quilt.
I was just wondering if there was an 'Aha' in stitching one that would
make it as good to live with as to touch. Polly

I have just cut out enough squares to make another two. Making each of fur
grandchildren one for Christmas. Would like to make a couple also for
friends, was even thinking of making one for the SPCA. Would like to find
out how to make some picture rag quilts, never really done any quilting
before. Would you have any idea how to make an easy picture out of squares?
I usually do 9 squares across or 8 then length would be 10 squares. Nice
hearing from you. Tania
