Rag quilts are super popular right now. They are great for baby blankets. I am not a quilter, but I have wanted to make a quilt for my daughter. After reading a tutorial on how to make a rag quilt, I think I will try to make one of these rag quilts for her. The hardest part seems to be taking the time to cut everything out!

You can use any fabric that will fray easily. Flannel is a great option. I have also seen them with denim. Denim just isn't as soft. For a baby blanket I might suggest a flannel just because every time you wash it it will get softer and fray more.

This tutorial is great with step by step instructions and easy to follow pictures. I know pictures always help me understand the steps easier. This seems to be a simple enough quilt, even for those of us who have never quilted before. I'll have to go look through my fabric and get started on one myself! - Trisha
