Baby Rag Quilts

 I was recently given some (as in LOTS!) of flannel, much of it already cut into squares for making rag quilts.  I've seen these soft, fuzzy blankets, but had never actually made one before.  Turns out they aren't too tricky, have lots of room for imperfection (1 inch seem allowances will do that!), and are slightly addicting (I'm working on my 4th one right now...good thing they are kids sized!).

When I was looking for instructions I read several tutorials online.  My favorite instructions were from I Can Teach My Child.  These blankets make great baby shower presents, or presents for anyone on your gift list!
