In rag quilting, the edges are ragged.... frayed and sometimes the fabric within the quilt is also frayed. So, it is almost three-dimensional looking. Rag quilts are aptly named...they were normally made from old blankets, quilts and sometimes clothing that could no longer be recycled. Also, rag quilts were not made in patterns, and the pieces usually overlapped to minimize the fraying. |
