Rag Quilt Pattern Option and Layout Schematic

Make copies of this illustration and shade the squares and rectangles to devise your own layout. Squares are 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" and rectangles are 3-1/2" x 6-1/2".

It's easy to make a rag quilt from this pattern. Cut the same pieces for each layer you include and sew together with a 1/2" seam allowance. Squares should measure 7" x 7" and rectangles should measure 4" x 7".

Refer to my Rag Quilt General Instructions for basic construction methods.
