Rag Quilt
About how much fabric would I need to make a rag quilt?
I want it to be roughly 50″x62″ using 8″ squares with a 1″ seam allowance. How many yards of fabric would you recommend? I’m thinking around 10, but I don’t want to get too much.
Close – you will need 4 yards for the top and 4 yards for the back.
Save this site for the on-line quilt calculator and many more helpful charts and tips – http://www.quiltbug.com/Articles/fabric-calculator.htm
It would be easier to use a number divisible by 8 – like 56 x 64; 7 blocks across and 8 down.
Add 2″ for the seams (1″ for each side of the block).
Using 44″ wide fabric = 4 yards for the top. If the fabric is wider than 44″ the total will be less.
If you make one like this – http://greenappleorchard.blogspot.com/2009/05/easiest-quilt-ever-rag-quilt-tutorial.html – you will also need the same amount of fabric for the back.
If you are going to use flannel – buy an extra 1/2 yard.
Cut a 2″ square and pre wash and dry about 3 times to see if it shrinks.
If it does, then the fabric will have to go through the pre wash as described.
This will avoid shrinking and puckering in the future when the quilt is washed.
