This rag/frayed edge quilt is what was under my needle until last week. It is ITH applique (design by JuJu). I trapunto'd the letters and pics, free motion quilted each block and then did the frayed edge. It was going to be a xmas gift in 2016 but I didn't even get it started. Sooooo, it is now my first xmas gift done for 2017! Yay me! lol I have already started on my next quilt - another baby quilt. Hoping it will be finished in a couple of days. (It is definitely the year (or month!!!) for babies!!!)

Looking good. This is a cheerful, educational and special quilt. I love the texture you have created.
Love your alphabet rag quilt! Who ever gets it for Christmas will love it.
That is an awesome quilt. Love everything about it. Wonderful job.
Wow that is a great quilt. Would be many hours of work there for sure
Very nice job ob the quilt. Thank you for sharing Happy Stitching
You chose the perfect design to go with each letter! It looks like a very cozy qullt that all children would love to cuddle up in. Cutting all that fabric would have made my hands sore! Fantastic quilt!

Thanks! I bought a pair of spring-loaded ragging scissors and they helped soooo much! I won't ever make another rag quilt with plain scissors!
Shisha that is exactly why mine isn't finished!

It's precious. That's a lot of fraying. Maybe Juju would like to display this picture on her site?

Oh wow! That is something I have not even thought about. I just might have to send her a pic! Thanks for the idea!
I think this is so pretty and commend you for your work. Each block is so nice!
I started a John Deere one about 7 years ago. I have a lot done on it but quit because it was so hard, on my hands,cutting the fringe. I just have regular scissors and couldn't justify buying a different pair, for this one project, as I don't ever plan to do another!-lol

If you lived closer, I would lend you my scissors! :)
Is it stipple quilted or is that polar fleece? Where did you get the alpha. It seem more relaxed than most alphas? I have polar fleece is why I am asking, if the raw edges are just from the backing?

Each block is stipple quilted. Both the top and backing are 100% cotton so the raw edges are a combination of the front and backing fabric.

Beautiful! I think that the rag edge is an awesome texture for a baby to explore. What a fantastic job.
Wow! What a labor of love! It's sure to be a cherished heirloom!
