Question
Hi,I am interested in making baby rag quilts and need some advice on what size quilt squares to use for a 34by 34 in quilt and how much of a seam allowance should I use for the ragging affect?

Answer
Hmmm, 34 x 34? Personally, I would cut 6 inch squares and use a 1/2" seam allowance. Then you end up with a quilt that is 35" x 35". I always use a 1/2" seam allowance. I think it gives a raggedy appearance without looking tooooo raggy. The 1" looks like too much to me. Anyway, good luck!
