One down and one more to go, gotta give my hand a rest for a bit before I start clipping the second one...

I love it, what size did you cut your squares?
I have a small one as a UFO at the moment....I cut my too small and embroidered on them as well, maybe it will end up being a dolls quilt...hehehe... instead for GD's

Thanks kezza, I started with 9 and half then when I squared them they ended 9 and a quarter. The first one I did was a baby size and only used 6 in but they are small for the embroidery, these designs were from Kennys and they were freebies, 15 different designs and very easy to work with...good luck on yours.

Beautiful, I can see the stitching on the blocks and yes that clipping will get the best of ya.

excellent work, nice warm colours - love it, good job.
Like all projects they start out not looking the greatest, but by the time we're finished it's like an ugly duckling turning into a swan *:*

Thanks sherylac, if you check on rag quilts in google you will come up with some really good tutorials. I found one that was a video that was really good but can't for the life of me find it now..embroidery library has some tutorials on rag quilts...
