I made a rag quilt for the trailer for Miss Ava & she loves Frozen. The only trouble I had with this is once I had the last row on & I flipped to this side I saw @ once that I had done right sides together so the raw edges were on the backside so I had to rip apart all 80 blocks & start again sigh.......it has been awhile since I have made one of these & after making this one I understand why! Even with the flannel rag scissors my hands were so sore by the time I was done thank goodness it is a small one just the right size for her. I don't think I could handle a full size quilt like this! She told me that she loved it so worth it now that it is done & over with lol. The 2cd picture is without the cuts in it but they are done & @ the trailer lol

158715Oh! well done Loralye, this looks absolutely gorgeous. I would have unpicked it too, if it's not right in the first place, then use that damn unpicker! I've used mine many a time! Well done, it's a great little quilt. Love Chris

234495So sorry that you had a little problem with this project. But, you weren't alone in the ripping out stitches party! I too had to rip out stitches. Too bad that we aren't closer together to make a real laughing party out of it! I love the little squares. I need to organize my remnants!

lol it is now that it is over but I am not sure what hurts most...... doing it all by hand or finding out there is a die cutter for that lol

well really there are 240 since the flannel is both front & back & in the middle lol. It made her very happy.....~hugs~
3364111867She'll love it. You are a great fixer and a darling grandma to undo it all and start again. I would have left it as it was.

360641I have an Accu-quilt Go and bought the rage quilt die. It cuts the slits and block at the same time. Makes it easy. This is a beautiful quilt. Great job.

I love rag quilts made with flannel but hate cutting all the blocks. I didn't even know there was such a thing as you are describing here.

6257Wow... so you made this one twice! These rag quilts are cute as can be, but I'm with you.... don't think that I could do a full sized one.
