What a day....Rebecca's rag quilt!

So Rebecca finished clipping her quilt for school...remember, her colors are orange and black--The Chaparral Cowboys.  Here is her raggy quilt....it measures over 5 feet long and about 2 1/2 feet tall...
And here is an up close picture...even the letters were flannel-backed and ragged....All the fabric is from vintage shirts....except the white, of course!!

On another note, a local quilt shop, Nancy's Quilt Shop in NW Las Vegas, announced that it was closing its doors.  The 50% off sale started on last week...that is 50% off of everything!!  I made a point of buying lots and lots of fabric for backings....I'll post pics tomorrow.  ;-)  It is sad to see one of the 5 quilt shops in town close down (due to retirement).....

  2. We printed the letters in size 500 font from the computer...just the outline of the letters. Then cut out a flannel piece and the black piece of each letter. I sewed them on 1/4" from the edge of the letter--like raw edge applique. The Rebecca snipped around the edges of the letters and the flannel. It actually all came together rather nicely!!
