Shabby Raggy Soft and Snugly: Rag Quilt



Yay! 

Anyone who has ever made a Rag Quilt will probably understand, that I'm not exaggerating when I say 
.... there is cotton from one end of my studio to the other ... lol

But WHAT FUN it was, making my very first Shabby, Raggy, Soft and Snugly Rag Quilt, from a mix of (Organic Cotton Sateen and Quilting Weight Cotton) fabrics featuring designs from my "Shabby Rose" Collection.



From Fabric to Quilt Above.

Many thanks to the:

Ah *Sigh* 

Now I better get busy and tidy up the studio :)

Cheers, Kris

  10. I love it! I have always thought it would be cool to make my own quilt but i just don't think i'm very talented that way. I'm usually just winging it and have done mostly curtains and those are easy... quilts ... don't look so easy to me lol.
