If the tips of your scissors are dull you can snip through some sandpaper a few times to sharpen them up.

Batik is traditional fabric from Indonesia and lovely to know that you used them for your beautiful rag quilt ❤

[@jamievanskiver8380]

Gorgeous rag quilt! This is on my to-do list of quilts to make. Thank you for the inspiration 😊

[@ChristineKrannich]

What a lovely rag quilt!!! It’s gorgeous.

[@inesgomara3650]

I absolutely love this type of quilting. Thanks you for sharing. I've been wanting ideas of what to make with my denim scraps. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@_MillerTime]

Love this idea, especially when quilting can seem so daunting! Thank you x

[@petra7322]

I really like this quilt, and the tip of putting it in a duvet cover when washing was so helpful💕🌷

[@lisawalters5482]

Oh my goodness the colors are beautiful! Wonderful gift. Here is a tip…if you change your needle plate to the one with just a small hole instead of the slit, your fabric won’t get eaten when you are stitching. Someone shared this with me and it works perfect. So I’m passing it on to you.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Hi Lisa, that is a great tip but sadly my machine doesn't come with additional stitch plates but definitely on my list to buy

[@vickiheath6133]

Great looking quilt

[@SusanLaBar-c8j]

They make special snips with small, dense, sharp blades especially for cutting rag quilts! Game changer!

[@annekennedy9814]

Greetings from Christchurch New Zealand. I'm so going to make this ragged quilt! I've got a large stash of denim and boxes of leftover fabrics that I'm keen to use. I've just got back to watching you after a very busy Christmas time, with family staying with us for Australia for a few weeks. I gave my 44yr old son a Star War quilt for his birthday, just after Christmas. (He's a Star Wars nerd - his boys are discussing who's going to inherit it!) I've currently got 2 quilts on the go. A Harry Potter for my granddaughter and a double bed New Zealand Kiwiana fabric one. It's such a pleasure tuning in to see what crafting you are up to. Warm regards Anne K Christchurch New Zealand

[@conniestone8367]

LOVE this quilt SO much!! Beautiful!!....and you're so delightful!...What a joy you are! Thank you for sharing your projects and kindness!

[@NancyBell-c5y]

It looks like a stained glass window! Great job and thanks for your channel. Great content !

[@szelop]

One channel I watch on rag quilts cuts as she sews making it easy!

[@Maajailm1314]

I love the colors and everything. I was a sceptic at first when you started to cut the seams up. I thought it will not look nice at the end, but after washing it turned out very beautiful. Absolutly my favored quilt! 🥰

[@SilverSithWitch]

This might be my first quilting project. I absolutely love it!

[@stitchwithrachel]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@pattimoose1]

Your quilt is gorgeous!! The person receiving it will be thrilled!! ❣

Love your color choices

Just found your channel ❤ Hello from Oklahoma USA 🇺🇸

[@stitchwithrachel]

Welcome!!

[@marshaadams6196]

I have made so many baby quilts out of flannel just like this, so fast - it’s a one day project! I want to do a denim one, to use as a picnic quilt.

[@stitchwithrachel]

That would be wonderful 💖

[@sherrywilliams1131]

Gorgeous and fun!

[@szelop]

So pretty!

[@agnesmalfont5231]

Bonjour, c'est magnifique ❤. Merci pour le partage. A bientôt

[@claudiacarolina]

Que linda as cores da colcha!! Terminei a colcha rag quilt que fiz para a minha filha e te agradeço tua ajuda quanto ao tamanho dos quadrados que você me respondeu no Instagram em setembro. Muito obrigada. Ficou muito bonita, mas não quis lavar por enquanto então não ficaram tão desfiadas as franjas. Um Lindo e Feliz Natal repleto de Paz, Amor e União com sua família ❤🎄🇧🇷

[@katrinacollins892]

That quilt is beautiful. You are quite skilled at hand sewing, as well, as I've seen in your other videos I just recently found your channel as it popped up in my feed one day. I have been crocheting for about 50 years, knitting for about 35 years, and I have made 2 quilts which I pieced by machine and hand-quilted in frames. One was a nine-patch alternated with appliqued blocks, and the other was a pattern called Bear's Paw here, but you might know it by another name. I made each of those as gifts years ago, and have all the pieces cut for a 3rd quilt top. Those pieces have been put away for about 30 years now. Watching your channel has reinvigorated my interest in quilting, so I'm going to dig those pieces out and finish the top. It has curved seams and sharp points, so I was doing it all by hand, and planned to hand quilt it. I guess I got tired, put it away, went on to other projects, and never picked it up again. I am keen to try your hand-quilting-on-your-lap technique. It looks so soothing and meditative. I recently retired, and have been crocheting a lot, but I think I will start working on that quilt again. I think the pattern was called Turkey Tracks, which I found in a book of quilting patterns. Love your channel, and I will be watching some of your older videos for tips. I will never be too old to learn new tricks. Hah! One tip that you might think goes without saying, but I've taught sewing classes and now know not to assume anything. Whatever type of craft you're working on, wash your hands and do not use lotion before picking it up. You just pet the dog or cat? Wash your hands again. Dirt, lotions and body oils will dirty your thread and leave smudges on your work that might not show up right away. Merry Christmas to you from Huntsville, Alabama, USA.

[@ShellyFuqua-t2q]

Love this quilt Rachel! I like to snip a little here and there as i go. Easier on the hands ❤

[@patriciaruppert201]

What an absolutely wonderful rag quilt. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathleengertzberg5405]

Your rag quilt is, as usual, very lovely. Whoever receives it is a lucky person. I’ve made two of these quilts. The second one was made out of leftover flannel with an outdoor woodsman print. This was given to my grandson as a gift for his birthday a few years ago. The fabric was leftover from a quilt I made for his Father ( not a rag quilt), long before he was born. I was so excited to make the second rag quilt but my excitement has been satisfied, no more for me….too tedious. ❤

[@lisarossnagel7815]

I love it! I've been collecting old jeans to make a rag quilt with. Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@shellyboyle9407]

The colors are beautiful!!! I had never seen a rag quilt made. Thanks!!!

[@cindyf181]

This a great rag quilt variation. The color choices are very pleasing.

[@pamketron]

❤❤❤ I love it. Using a flannel sheet for the inside is a great idea and allows you to cut at the same size as the block. Great job! That’s a lot of work. Thanks for the tutorial. ❤🎄 Merry Christmas

[@CherryBelle-sh2jx]

Oooh rag quilts are my fave....so cosy and snuggly. Ive only ever done squares same size so looking forward to trying your mixed size version. Im a cotton flannelette girl (born in 1960s) lol. Thanks for a fabulous how to video.....youre an amazing and lovely teacher xx❤❤

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

It is gorgeous Rachel! Well done!💕

[@gracepatane9384]

I’ve made plenty of baby rag quilts, but never tried an adult size! I do love the way they look when they come out of the dryer!! Your quilt is fantastic!!!

I have 2 I made with my mom that live on the couch year round, there’s nothing like a flannel quilt to make a loving room look cozy 😊

[@MagicSchoolbus1]

Lovely rag quilt! You can also use flannel yardage for your middle later, but I’d bet you found a more affordable option in sheets. Great idea.

[@janiceboan5823]

Really enjoyed May giv

[@suellendenny6399]

I have made 2 of these for my grandchildren. They are so much fun to make. I used flannel for the front and a minky fabric on the back.

[@Sewmena918]

I want to make this exact quilt. ❤ I have an inexpensive brother sewing machine and I’m a little worried it isn’t powerful enough to manage the layers. I will need to do some test blocks and see how it goes. Maybe I’ll start with a rag potholder. 😂

[@stitchwithrachel]

My sister has an inexpensive machine and she has made a rag quilt, the lightweight denim i used is like thick cotton so very easy to sew with. Just go slow and with a denim needle 💖

[@angelamartin4812]

Beautiful Rachel!!! I have wanted to make this for some time now 😊

[@tattered-trinket-shop]

The Denim and Brights combo feels like how I wished my room looked in the Early 2000s lol, Rag Quilting has absolutely been Mysterious to me until now so I'm excited to finally have the secrets and give it a shot!

[@rochellenowik9875]

Fiskars makes specialty rag quilt scissors. They help tremendously and were worth the price. I like the denim fabric. The two I made were made with flannel front and back (1 had flannel for the center layer, 1 had no center layer {my favorite}) . They are very cozy and warm. Good tip about the duvet cover as my dryer was a shocking mess.

[@klwmadeit]

Wow! I never thought I would like a rag quilt, but your version is beautiful… the batik 4 patches shine like jewels in the cozy denim 💕

Absolutely stunning. Well done.

[@PaulaSlater-j8s]

This video is just what I needed. I have a rag quilt to make and I had forgotten how I did the last one. Love the batik fabric with the denim. I was planning to use the leftover bits of batting but I may switch so the seams are fluffier. Thanks Rachel.

[@stitchwithrachel]

Someone said a pair of trainers aswell, thought it was brilliant

[@busybeenature9092]

Very well done! Really funky😂😂❤🙏 thanks

[@minaborromeo4314]

Love it Rachel. I was skeptical I must say but it is truly amazing. A great quilt for someone who doesnt like "traditional" quilts. I was wondering if you could also use old jeans instead of buying denim? What do you think?

[@cynthiahogue7724]

I’ve made many rag quilts, mostly with flannel. I use the same scissors as you and found that holding a metal ruler along the seam prevents me from clipping through the thread. I also wash and dry mine at a laundromat with a pair of sneakers as it helps with the fraying process. And my machine always needs a good clean afterwards with all the flannel fuzz! Beautiful with the denim and batik!

[@stitchwithrachel]

What Brilliant tips!

[@debbi-t1z]

Beautiful colors! Great job ❤
