Rag quilts are a unique type of quilt that many quilters prefer making over traditional quilts. Because of this, rag quilts are growing considerably in popularity. There are several factors that make them popular. Some of the reasons include that they are easy to make, work up quickly, don't require expert sewing knowledge, and they are wonderfully warm and snugly.

Follow the "rag doll" exercise with a posture aligning exercise. Take a firm stand with your feet flat on the floor, again about hip-width apart with arms by your sides. Quickly raise your arms up and across your body in a circular motion. Keep doing this until your arm are over your head. Stretch up onto your tiptoes and take a good, deep breath as you raise your arms up. Start to slowly exhale as you bring your arms back down to your sides, and return from your toes to flat feet once again. Be sure that you keep your shoulders back and your chest up as they were at the top apex of your stretch after you bring your arms down.

I personally like using at least five different fabrics to get a nice diagonal pattern going, but you can use as little as two or as many as 50. (these do make great scrap quilts to clean up the stash) The quilt above has seven different prints and just for fun I threw in a textured corduroy. For the backing you can pick anything to mixed up squares or the same fabric. I am pretty conservative and usually go with the same backing through out the quilt.

Household cleaning should be done on a daily basis. Doing so regularly puts cleaning on a maintenance level, which means it can be done quite quickly and efficiently!

Naturally some of it is bound to land in your home.
