Rag Edge Bag, Quilt and Cushion with Valerie Nesbitt
Classes with Valerie Nesbitt • Educational, G, 01-May-2015
Rag quilts have exposed seam allowances on their fronts and finished traditional seams on their backs.
Whether you are making the bag, cushion, or quilt, you can use small squares of fabric, add scraps of wadding and work both sides of the project at the same time. So when you are done no layering, quilting or binding left to do!
