Rag Quilts for My Grandsons

By Leave a Comment

I made these rag quilts for my grandsons for Christmas. I am really happy with the way they turned out. I still need to finish the quilt for my youngest grandson but now that it is Summer, I think I’ll have to wait until Fall. These particular rag quilts are very heavy and warm. They are 100% flannel and Minky with batting in the middle. I personalized the quilts with their names and then with a message from me. I used my embroidery machine to personalize the quilts.
