The "Rag Time Quilt" is fun and easy..
The best Fabric to use is flannel..
You cut 10 or 12 inch sqs of a number of flannel fabrics...or just 2 colors if you like. You put these together wrong sides facing with batting between them the batting is cut 1" smaller than the fabric and I use high loft batting to make it fluffy, or you can use 2 pieces of low loft bat...I use the cheapest batting for this quilt. You don't have to sew an "X" in the middle, I have sewn hearts, bears,ducks and a lot of other things depending on who was receiving the quilt. What ever you put in the middle needs to cover a big portion of the middle of the square. You then sew all blocks together using 1" seam. After all is sewn together you clip with sharp scissors right up to your seam but not through it. Your clips should be no more than 1/4" apart, I like the look of this or even less. After this tedious task is done you then take it to a commercial laundry and wash it to make it "rag". This is a really wonderful cuddle quilt. And is quick to make. Good Luck
