Typical quilts are made by first creating a quilt top, then by making a quilt sandwich that includes the quilt top, batting, and backing. Rag quilting short cuts the quilt top assembly and creates the quilt top while sewing the backing and batting pieces at the same time.

You have several different options for the middle layer.

Warm and Natural Batting

Warm and Natural batting will give your quilt a really nice weight. If you choose to use this as your middle layer, you will need to cut the batting pieces 1'' smaller than the bottom and top layers so that the batting doesn't show in the exposed seams on the top of the quilt.

You will not be able to use batting for patterns like the Flying Geese, the Hourglass Pillow, or the Arrow Quilt because as you are assembling your quilt you will be cutting sewn pieces, and then sewing them again. Your batting would show in the exposed seams.

If you use Warm and Natural for your middle layer, you must quilt each and every one of your fabric sandwiches. If you don't, the batting will move around and ball up in your quilt when it is washed. One easy way to quilt the sandwiches is to sew an X in the sandwich from point to point. But you can quilt the block using any quilting technique.

Examples of sewing squares together before sewing the quilt together: 

X from corner to corner

Flannel Fabric for Rag Quilt Batting

For the middle layers in my quilts, I prefer a coordinating layer of flannel. The flannel will add color to your quilt in the exposed seams, while still adding weight.

Cut the middle layer the same size as the bottom layer. This middle layer works well for the quilt assembly method where pieces are sewn together and then cut to make different shaped blocks. Quilts like Flying Geese, the Hourglass Pillow, or the Arrow Quilt will be perfect for flannel middle layers.

Another reason I prefer flannel for the middle layer is that it keeps the cost of the quilt down. Flannel costs about half as much as Warm and Natural batting.

Below is a quilt I made with black flannel batting, red flannel back, and kids pajamas as the top of the quilt. I loved how it turned out.  It was very warm and snuggly!

 I used the easy peasy rag quilt pattern for the above quilt. It can be found in our rag quilt pattern shop on etsy.

 

Pastel Triangle Rag Quilt in Pink, Green, Blue, Purple, Gray, and Yellow

I think my favorite part of sewing for others is custom orders.  They are so much fun!  To take someone else's vision and turn it into something they can touch and cherish forever is a real treat!

Today, I was able to do just that. I just shipped off this gorgeous twin size rag quilt made entirely of triangles.  The colors are so springy that it makes me wish winter hadn't just started!

If you would like your own triangle rag quilt you can find it HERE

Triangle Dash Rag Quilt Pattern and Boys Quilt by A Vision to Remember

Finally got the Triangle Dash Rag Quilt pattern listed in the good ol Etsy shop. 

Its a fun and easy quilt to sew up.

Or if you don't want to sew your own head on over and purchase the triangle quilt in orange, gray, lime green, and navy blue with chevron, polka dot, and solid prints (also available as a car seat tent)

Finally got the #babyboy #quilt photographed. Love this quilt! #ragquilt via Instagram http://ift.tt/1sTcCIQ

Or for the girly version in Hot Pink, Orange, Gray with beautiful flower prints

A little note about the pattern.  As a bonus I have included how to make a matching car seat tent if you are interested.  It really is a fun and quick sew.  The pink version was my 2nd one that I made.  I needed something quick to give a really good friend of mine.  From start to finish (and that included adding a minky back onto it from this tutorial) I was done in 3 hours.  Not too shabby, especially for only making this quilt 2 times before this (once for a quilt, and once for a car seat tent)

If you would prefer to purchase the pattern from Craftsy I also have it available there

Diamond and Triangles Rag Quilt Pattern

I finally was able to get the newest pattern done!  Its made up of triangles and diamonds.  I just love the way it turned out! 

I just love the borders. This particular quilt I decided to quilt and bind.  It has the dreamiest watermelon minky on the back.  In each of the brown triangles I quilted a little flower.  Then for the border I did a free hand scrolly design. 

I also made a monochromatic version of the triangles and diamonds.  I LOVE it.  I am not normally a fan of purple but this quilt turned out really fun!

Of course the purple chevron boarder helps!
