Learn to create a soft, cozy baby rag quilt in this beginner-friendly quilting class designed for sewists who want a fun and forgiving introduction to quilting techniques. A rag quilt is a unique style of quilt made with exposed seam allowances that are clipped and washed to create the signature soft, fluffy “ragged” edges between each block. The finished result is warm, textured, cozy, and perfect for babies, gifts, or everyday snuggling.
In this class, students will learn the complete process of constructing a baby-sized rag quilt from start to finish. Unlike traditional quilting, rag quilts are assembled in a simpler, more approachable way, making them a wonderful project for beginners while still being enjoyable for experienced makers.
Students will learn:
- Fabric selection and preparation
- Layering quilt blocks with batting
- Sewing quilt blocks together with exposed seams
- Accurate seam allowance and construction techniques
- Clipping seams to create the ragged texture
- Quilting assembly and finishing methods
- Tips for washing and caring for rag quilts
Throughout the class, students will build confidence using sewing machines while creating a handmade quilt full of texture and charm. Once washed, the clipped seams soften and fluff up beautifully, giving the quilt its classic rag quilt look and extra coziness.
By the end of class, students will have the start of a 36"X54" baby rag quilt perfect for gifting, nurseries, stroller cuddles, or treasured keepsakes.
