Ok, I sew and I make quilts, after all, what else can you do with the bits of fabric left from other sewing projects?
A friend is having a baby, and I needed to make a baby quilt in a hurry for a last minute shower. I had been wanting to try one of those fluffy fuzzy "rag quilts" I had been seeing online.
basically all the seems are on the outside, you snip them, then wash and dry it to get them all ravelled out and fuzzy.
I clogged up the tube that goes from the pump to the bed of nails lint filter in my Whirlpool washer doing this. I got lucky, 30 minutes to get it apart and dig out the wad of lint blocking things. But next time may not go so well. So for all the other guys here who sew, make rag quilts at your own risk.
The quilt is adorable though..[this post was last edited: 11/15/2014-14:52]
