All Plaid Raggedy Fun!



 My mum dug her plaid raggedy quilt so much she asked me to make more.  This fun quilt was made from 7" squares and sewn together with an inch wide open seam to allow for the edges to be nipped.  When washed the edges fray and give the characteristic raggedy quilt look.

These type of quilts are fast, fun and easy to do.  I think it took me longer to choose the colour pattern than it did to actually sew and snip!  I love the way this quilt came out with the playful sprinkling of reds and blues with a surprise of purple in the middle.

 The backing fabric was made from an incredible deal I got on a seventeen yard roll of this wonderful grey and fushia flannel.  It's fun and funky and gives an unexpected snap of colour.

Raggedy Quilt

 

 

Shredded Home Spun

This quilt presented itself as a surprise in a box.  I quickly recognised its potential and finished it up in a matter of a week or two.  Snipping the seams is a ginormous pain in the wrist!  But the results are oh so worth it for that shredded look and feel.

Created from homespun cottons this quilt is a smaller lap quilt I finished for my mum.  She likes this one and uses it quite a bit.  I think I forgot to mention this thing will shed like a persian cat for quite sometime due to the way the seams are treated.  Ooops.

Fun and Fuzzy

Peach Out, Apricots!
