i have finished the jeans rag quilt and thought i’d post the pictures in case anyone was curious. i am satisfied. didn’t wash it – i think it would be too heavy for my normal top loader washer. needs to go to laundramat and use a front loader meant for big or heavy loads. i did wet the edges and used my dryer – making sure to clean the filter every 15 minutes. once it was dry, i did another 20 minutes using just air. has at least begun to be ‘raggy’.
even tho i chose to stop at 12 blocks, as you can see, it still covers a double bed. decided it would be a better size as i expect it to be used more as a ‘snuggle’ quilt – for tv, etc. the blocks are 18″. i think if i were to make another using this method, i would just use all flannels. this one is kinda heavy – i mean it weighs a lot! ^_^
if i had made the decision earlier, i probably wouldn’t have used the neutral flannels. i now have three 19″ sqaures of red, white and blue that are more fun than the plain ones. darn.
once again i do wish i could figure out how to make this work here where i am typing. really hate what has been done – can only see part of this area where i am typing. other things on top of it and i can’t get them to move – at least not to stay moved. grrrr
