The larger version of this rag quilt has nine rows, each with seven blocks as shown above. Otherwise, assembly is the same.

Yardages are for the quilt top only. You'll need the same yardage and patchwork pieces for flannel batting and for the quilt backing. Yardages include enough excess to cut pieces for scrap border.

68-1/2" x 85-1/2" Quilt

Large Floral Squares

  • 2-3/4 yards cut into thirty-one 10" x 10" squares cut from 10" wide selvage to selvage strips

Medium Floral Rectangles

  • 1-3/4 yarda cut into thirty-two 5-1/2" x 10" rectangles cut from 5-1/2" wide selvage to selvage strips

Small Floral or Tone-on-Tone Fabric

  • 2 yards cut into sixty-four 3-1/4" x 10" bars cut from 10" wide selvage to selvage strips

Scrap Border

  • Cut an assortment of sixty-six 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" bars from leftover yardage. Sew the side borders on first, after assembling two borders with eighteen bar stacks each. Make two more borders, each with fifteen bar stacks. Sew a border to remaining sides of the quilt.
