... these little toesies ...
... this beautiful, adorable grand-darling!
Isn't she cute in her stylish new glasses?
Grammy is completely "nuts about" Everly!
Grammy is completely "nuts about" Everly!
Everly and I are joining all our sweet, salty and nutty friends in the
How best to tell Little Miss Everly that Grammy is nuts about her?
With a soft and snuggly new quilt, of course!
The fabric that says "soft and snuggly" the most to me is flannel and
the pattern that says "cuddle" to me is "rag quilt."
So I made a snuggly, soft, cuddly, huggable rag quilt!
I have not made a flannel rag quilt in years and I am not sure why.
Rag quilts are sew easy to make.
Sometimes simple and easy is best.
No need for a fancy pattern and expensive new release fabrics.
Well-worn and loved is what matters most in a quilty hug.
I found some soft flannels in my stash.
Then I remembered that Everly is "nuts about" Minnie Mouse so I dashed out
with coupon in hand to my nearby JoAnn fabrics and found her some Minnie fabric.
"Minnie" is one of her favorite words and she says it so cute.
She has three "Minnies" and all were gifts,
one beanie sized stuffed one from Grampy,
one Little People one from Grammy and
one from a hostess in a local Chinese food restaurant who thought she was so darling.
Minnie goes everywhere with Everly
so Minnie needed to be on this quilt.
Here is my finished quilt.
Here is a closeup of the ruffly heart.
I added a folded strip of flannel around the edge of the front of the quilt as a "binding" and to add some fluff to the outside edge.
Here is the back of the quilt.
Here is Everly and her new quilt ...
She loves getting her fingers and toes into the ruffly raggedy edges.
I think my grand puppy is saying,
"I need a quilt, Grammy."
For now these two buddies are sharing.
Bear and I hope Everly and Sierra enjoy her quilt as much
as we enjoyed making it and showing it to you.

So I drew up a basic squares quilt layout on my EQ.
I decided to applique in a few rag edged hearts to say "I love you" to my grand-darling.

Oh, who wouldn't be nuts about that adorable little girl :) And the quilt looks so snuggly and filled with love!
The hearts are a really cute addition to a basic rag quilt. Thanks for sharing!
What a sweetie Everly is; I can understand why you're nutty about her. The quilt is perfect; how neat that you added Minnie fabric just for her. Thanks for the pattern; I need to make a cuddly rag quilt, too.
A perfectly snuggly quilt for a little girl. That last photo is beyond adorable!
I love your snuggly quilt, but that tiny human is much more huggable--so be sure and give her a hug from me!!
love and laughter, di

Grandpuppy definitely needs a quilt too (although they look cute sharing). My mom made a jean quilt for her grandpuppy. Its long and skinny and goes over the backseat of my car. No more muddy pawprints on the seats!
Absolutely that's an adorable and sweet quilt but the little one is even sweeter, Everly is precious!
Everly is a real cutie, no wonder you are nutty for her! thanks for the tutorial. I just made a rag quilt myself and I finally broke down and bought the snips from Fiskars to keep my hands from going numb!
Rag quilts are so sweet and almost as cute as your model! Thanks for sharing.
this is wonderful. i love making quilts that are loved.

What a beautiful quilt, Everly looks very cute in her glasses.

Everly is a cutie and the quilt is so cute. Hope she enjoys it for many years.
Love the little toesies on the rag quilt. I have corner squares cut when I recently made 8 flannel crib sheets. Perhaps I should start a raggie for the newest grandbaby toesies - born 1-4-16.
Love the quilt! And such adorable 'quilt models' too!
Your granddaughter is adorable. I love rag quilts, they are so cute and snugly. Thanks for sharing.
What a cutie of a granddaughter. The quilt looks so cuddly.
Your Everly is as cute as can be--the darling quilt is a perfect fit.
I've always wanted to try making a ragged edge quilt. Yours is pretty with it's sweet colors.
Love your quilt!
