Rag quilting is one of the easiest and most beginner-friendly ways to create a beautiful, soft quilt for a baby. Whether you’re making one for your own little one or as a thoughtful handmade gift, this guide will walk you through the entire process!
Why Choose a Rag Quilt?
- ✅ Perfect for beginners—no precise quilting skills required!
- ✅ Soft, fluffy seams make it extra cozy.
- ✅ Quick to sew—great for last-minute gifts.
Supplies You’ll Need:
- Flannel fabric in 2-3 coordinating colors.
- Sharp fabric scissors or rotary cutter.
- Basic sewing machine.
- Thread and pins.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cut your fabric into squares. You choose the size of squares and quantity depending on the size of quilt. To determine how many squares you need minus 1 inch from the size of square you are using and divide it by the size of quilt you're wanting. (5" squares and a 40" square quilt gives you 10 squares by 10 squares {5-1=4. 40/4=10})
- Layer two squares together and stitch an X across them to secure.
- Join squares with a ½” seam allowance, leaving edges exposed.
- Once the quilt top is assembled, snip along the raw edges every ¼” to create the rag effect.
- Wash and dry the quilt—this softens and frays the edges beautifully!
