So I added the square pieces to the stack of squares that I been accumulating for several years. I think I have enough now to make a Rag Quilt. I am so excited to get started!
As I looked through the square pieces I had cut a couple years ago I saw that I had been much more desperate for material in the past. I had used a seam ripper and taken all the stitches out so I could unroll the hems and use every last scrap.
I thought I was being frugal now, but I was way more frugal then.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
I am planning to share some pictures of the finished quilt when it is done.
Are you working on any projects? Let me know in the comments section!

Nice! I look forward to seeing your finished quilt! I like your idea of adding the plaid squares in with the jean ones - those look pretty together. I have some squares for a quilt that I had worked on years ago...but unfortunately never finished. Maybe someday. :)
That's so nice! It's great to be able to save fabric this way.
I noticed that you have an x sewn on the squares. Does this help them not stretch when you sew the pieces all together?
I'm sure it'll be a treasure once you're finished.
Thank you, Sunshine Country! It is always nice to finish up old projects. This quilt has been on the back burner for a few years.
Thank you for the comment, Jennifer! This quilt doesn't use any batting and the seams are left exposed. I think that is where the name, Rag Quilt, comes from. Each block is two layers and the layers are kept together with an x through the middle. I should explain it better in the finished post. I'm sure others have your same question.
