Make a Soft, Cozy Flannel Rag Quilt

A rag quilt is a wonderful way to enjoy Primo Plaids Pine & Berries. Exposed seam allowances are clipped and washed to create the soft fringe that gives these quilts their distinctive texture. The plaid fabrics add pattern and personality, while the flannel makes the finished quilt especially inviting.

Choose your layout from our Four-Patch Flannel Rag Quilt Pattern, Half-Square Triangle Flannel Rag Quilt Pattern, or Easy as ABC and 123 Rag Quilt Pattern. Each offers a different way to arrange your favorite fabrics.

For clear definition, choose contrasting plaids so the individual shapes remain visible. Follow your pattern’s instructions for fabric quantities, batting, seam allowances, and finishing.

Helpful Tools for Rag Quilt Construction
