Learn What Size to Make Your Rag Quilt

The sizes of rag quilts can vary widely. The rag quilt size can vary a lot depending onwhat you plan to use it for. In other words, making a rag quilt to use as a throw quilt is dramatically different than making one to fit a king-sized bed. Also, whatever your target rag quilt size, you will need to factor in seam allowance (the space between the stitching and the edge of the piece of fabric) and any variation that may come from shinking after washing.

You might try for one that is about 3 feet by 5 feet, or 36 inches by 60 inches. Using these measurements, you will likely want to use squares of fabric at approximately 6 inches by 6 inches, with a little extra to factor in seam allowance and any shrinkage that may occur.

If the rag quilt is going to be for a baby, you should try to find out the dimensions of his or her crib. You may want to subtract some of the length and add it to the width, if you want {the rag quilt to be tucked in on the to be able to tuck in the edges.

The same goes for the width. Allow for up to 20 extra inches on each side if you want it to cover the depth of the mattress. It is usually advisable to measure the mattress in question yourself, and don't forget toconsidershrinkage and seam allowance.

For a single size bed,you will need the quilt to be about 65 inches by 88 inches. To fit a queen size bed, you will want to have 86 inches by 93 inches. A king size bed quilt should have dimensions of a minimum of 104 inches by 93 inches.
