| first rag-edge quilt |
Another Quilt Show find. This charming little bundle is a heavy weight, velvet textured flannel. Yes, flannel. The hand is divine, the colors are saturated and the prints are beautiful. I plan another rag-edge quilt for this. The display in the vendors booth featured essentially the same pattern as the one I made before.

| cutters, rag edge |
Just look at these stunning prints. Each one is special on its own, but as a group they really compliment each other. I saw another rag-edge quilt made with 5 inch squares that were stitched through each square with an X. I have to think on this a bit. I really am leaning to the rectangle shaped block arranged in the off set pattern. Then again, I could alternate the rectangles and squares like a Flemish bond bricklayers pattern.
After joining the blocks all those little seams have to be cut to form the fringe. I totally ruined a pair of scissors doing that on the first one so I bit the bullet and bought a pair of these heavy duty cutters, one would think I am going to prune fruit trees! I was assured by the seller that these will do the job. So, in between 29 other on-going projects, I will fit this one in. Stay tuned:)
