Confinement Crafting

My sewing machine was busy during lockdown making masks for the post-confinement period. So I decided to also try my hand at a rag quilt, since the machine was all warmed up anyway.

This is a great kind of quilt for someone like me who is impatient and only likes piecing the quilt, not quilting it. Each square is a stack of three fabrics, and you create the quilt as you go, so as soon as you're done piecing, you're done making the quilt.


Then you clip the seams so they unravel when you wash the quilt, and then you wash it and clog up your washing machine evacuation pipe with the loose threads. (Oops). So I might not make too many more of these, but it was fun and quick to make.
