Easy Rag Quilt Pattern: Step One

Choose two different flannelette fabrics for your blanket.

For a rag quilt with rectangles like the green rag quilt I made for this tutorial, use a yard and a half of fabric per side.

For a rag quilt with squares use a yard of fabric per side.

If you want to add batting into the blanket make sure it is cut the exact same size as the rest of the fabric. This will make sure all the squares are sewn together before trimming excess batting from the seams.

Step Two

Place both fabrics together, wrong sides facing in. Then trim around the edges.

If you are doing batting place it in between the two fabrics at this point.

Step Three

Choose what side will be the side you want to see the ragging. and make sure all your folds happen on that side.

Fold your fabric in half and sew a one inch seam along that fold.

Step Four

Cut along the loop you have created.

Step Five

Create a seam along both sides of the center seam. This is best explained in my video tutorial. and then sew along both of these folds.

Step Six

Once sewn cut along these two loops as well. Then press all three of these seams open.

Step Seven

We will do this all over again on the opposite side. Fold for a center seam. Keep the previous seams open before folding. Then sew a once inch seam once again.

Step Eight

Fold and sew the next two seams on either side of the center seam you just sewed.

Step Nine

Sew a one inch seam around the entire easy rag quilt pattern you just created.

Step Ten

Clip all the edges, making sure the closer together the clips are the better the ragging will end up looking.

Rejoice! You just made an easy rag quilt pattern!

And you now have a rag quilt baby blanket to give at your next baby shower! Whoo hoo!!!!
