Pin your layers: Pin the layers together, using quilting pins to hold them in place. Sew your layers: Using a sewing machine, stitch along the edges of the fabric layers, leaving a small seam allowance.
Amy's - What’s Inside Your Rag Quilt? BATTING vs. FLANNEL Lately, I've been asked if there is batting in the center of my rag quilts. The answer is always no - I only use flannel, cut to the same size as my main blocks. Both batting and flannel can be used in rag quilts, but they behave very differently, and over time I’ve found flannel to be the clear winner for my style. BATTING... Batting can absolutely work in rag quilts. It comes in different thicknesses, adds weight, and creates a nice puff in the blocks. After washing, the stitching has that charming, old-fashioned quilted look with the batting puffing up around it. But here’s why it’s not quite right for me: batting doesn’t rag, so each piece has to be cut smaller than the blocks and carefully centered to avoid getting sewn int

Batting can absolutely work in rag quilts. It comes in different thicknesses, adds weight, and creates a nice puff in the blocks. After washing, the stitching has that charming, old-fashioned quilted look with the batting puffing up around it. But here’s why it’s not quite right for me: batting doesn’t rag, so each piece has to be cut smaller than the blocks and carefully centered to avoid getting sewn into the seams. It also requires stitching through every block to keep it from sagging or bunching over time. And the biggest drawback, in my opinion? Since it isn’t exposed in the seams, it can’t add any fluff or color to those signature frayed edges. This, for me, feels like a huge missed opportunity in rag quilting. FLANNEL... Flannel, on the other hand, fits exactly what I want in a rag quilt. It’s cut the same size as the blocks—no fiddly trimming or centering required—and it stays in place without extra stitching. Most importantly, flannel does rag. When those cut edges fray, the extra flannel layers add fullness and color right in the seams, creating that wonderful soft, fluffy texture. On top of that, flannel gives the quilt warmth and softness without being overly heavy, which makes it perfect year-round. Of course, what you put in the middle isn’t the only thing that shapes a rag quilt. Seam length, how closely you snip, and fabric choices all make a difference too. But when it comes to the inside layer, flannel is the choice that gives me the look and feel I love most. | FacebookBastingHow to Sandwich Quilt Layers Together for QuiltingWhat are the Layers of a Quilt?
