RAG & LEVI QUILTS

    My granddaughter just got married and I forgot to take a picture of that quilt so here's how it looked at the reception.  Her and her husband are avid hunters so I found some deer print and some flannel to compliment the  print.  It looked really cute spread out.  It's has mostly Levis on the back with some small blue gingham print.  They gave me a lot of their old Levis so it was fun to watch them find which ones were theirs.  In the middle of the back I put a piece of Levi with the back pocket on it.  It's a fun thing to do and they love it!        (The deer picture was a gift from someone else but it matched the quilt perfectly.)

I have really enjoyed making rag quilts.  I use flannel, cottons, and Levi material.  I even find that I enjoy cutting all the squares out, too.   I have made quilts with an 8x8 inch square and 6x6 inch square.  The callous on my thumb where I hold the scissors to cut the seams, shows my dedication to making rag quilts.  :-)

This one is a favorite.  I took scraps of  material that added color and dimension to the sqaures and added a design to each 8 inch square and also used small pieces of Levi.  It was a lot of work but I sure had fun creating the quilt.   This was made from flannel on the back and Levi and plaid flannel on the front.  I love the ant flannel and you might see it in other quilts, too.

This is one of my 'Apple for the Teacher' quilts.

Another "Teacher Apple" quilt.  (Yes, I am a teacher by profession so enjoy making these for fund raisers.  This one was done to support Relay for Life.)

My little granddaughter got a Levi quilt with a flannel side, too.  Now she can sit out on the grass or use it on a picnic and feel the soft flannel and the Levi side will take care of the dirt and grass stains.

This is the back of that cute lady bug flannel quilt.

I thought this would be a great picnic quilt for the newlyweds that I gave it to.
