Darlene,you are so real!!! Dam,,,this is my first quilt video I wasn't fast forwarding,,or telling the screen to;'get on with it',,,!! ThankYOU for taking the time,sharing your own idea with us!!! I sure wish I had a mom just like YOU!!! Thanks again,you made my day brighter
OH MY GOD im 16 and my brother is getting married in july and i was wanting to make him a home made quilt but i saw so many tutorials and I was overwhelmed by the numbers and how perfect it has to be when I have little to no experinece and this tutorial saved me I LOVE YOUR VOICE and personality so much, For some reason you give me rosie o'donnell vibes thank you so much
You are such a great teacher. Quilting is new to me and you have made it easy to understand. I also love how "real" you are, and so funny. I used to live in Maine, years ago and loved it! In Michigan, now. 64 years old, lots of kids and grandkids. I will be following you. LOL That sounds creepy. I've seen some of your sad videos and I feel for you and am sending a cyber hug. That probably doesn't help the "I'll be following you" comment, does it. I'm harmless. The worst thing I would do is feed you!
AWESOME TUTORIAL! I made my grandaughter a rag quilt in the traditional way 3 years ago. I won't do that again. I have already made two like this one and have fabric cuts for 4 more. I am thinking of doing a class for my extension office and homemakers clubs. I will send them to your TH-cam videos. Hope it will be ok. I really enjoy watching you. You are so real! I put mine in a king size pillow case, fold it over, baste it shut, then wash and dry in the pillowcase. Take out stitches, take it outside and shake it out. The birds will love me. What I love is, I don't have to clean out my washer or dryer afterwards.
I'm lucky that I have a lint tray in my washer so it goes in there. But yes, the birds will love those flannel threads in their nests! Squirrels too. Thanks in advance for sending your class to my channel. Much appreciated!
I just adore your personality! thanks for sharing it and also your knowledge about quilting. You are a breath of fresh air. All your bits of humor and the whiny stuff like when you pricked your thumb with the pin..its just so unique to you. I love it. Please don't ever change for anyone.
Thank you so much this tutorial is awesome. And I love your personality. You seem like you would be so much fun to be around. And I think I will try to make one of these blankets. You make blankets not so scary LoL
You are so amazing. I am teaching myself how to quilt. I made a jean quilt not too long ago and making the blocks and cutting them and sewing them back together was a success but wanted an easier way and i found this... So happy. Thank you. I have been watching your videos for hours now. I'm learning so much. Thank you for being so easy to follow.
This would be great to make and yours turned out beautifully! It looks like the snipping would take the most time but then you could do that while you watch TV or have to wait for something or someone. Great video!
Fantastic! Hubby just bought flannel bed set specifically for me to to keep me happy whilst he works at weekend! Been so looking forward to making a rag quilt and finally I can! This is my favourite quick and easy to follow tutorial. You are so funny and down to earth and such a pleasure to watch! Love ya loads Kara from Scotland xxxx
Great video. I nearly passed it by because I thought it was not going to look good. I thought wrong. Its fabulous. I will some how add some embroidery to my top fabric as I sew the rows. Thank you very much.
Hi Darlene! Thank you for this! I just finished a rag quilt using your method and it turned out beautifully! And so freakin awesome I didn't have to cut squares! Love your attitude lady
I have two great nieces that will be born within the next couple of months. I was going to knit them blankets, but now I think this will be so much quicker and I love how it turned out. I've never done any sort of quilting, so I am anxious to try this. My Grandmother was a quilter but I never took the time to sit with her when I was young to learn from her; wish I would have taken the time. Thanks for the tutorial!
This is amazing. My 7 yr. old granddaughter wants to make a quilt. With her short interest span the rag quilt will be perfect. Can't wait to try it. Thank you for showing how to make this.
OMG Darlene I just made one of these 40x40 in just over an hour ( had to re watch some of the video so I didnt stuff it up) Friggin awesome little rag quilt. I used fleece with cute little rabbits on it for front and pink polar fleece on the back (fleece side out so its sooo soft) Love Love Love it.. So simple and easy..
this was an absolutely surreal experience. darlene, you are not only an phenomenal architect -- yes, more than a designer --, an expert seamstress, a dynamite teacher , but you are a performer par excellence as well. thank you, thank you, thank you. i am a devoted fan after just one tutorial. keep them coming, girlfriend.
Hi Darlene. Thanks for showing this! I'm not really a sewer but because you showed how easy this rag quilt is to do, I'm going to try it sometime this year! I've always been fascinated by quilt making but I'm not patient in cutting out all the tiny squares, etc. Once I am able to try it, I'll try posting a pic for you. ;)
I made my first lap blanket using this technique. I use two thick fabrics I had... one print. I love it. Thank you. I bought the vacuum and spring-loaded scissors (love them!) you recommended. Will check out more of your videos in the future. Thank you.
You are awesome at sewing I just like run across your channel I watch the whole thing it was so exciting and pink is my favorite color other than purple. I would love to have one of them I have to figure out if I can make one I have to get a sewing machine first. Thank you for showing everybody how to do that and you have an awesome personality thanks again.
I'm so excited! I haven't quilted in awhile and have several quilts I need to make your the second I pulled up, and this looks prefect. I'm not a professional by any means but love quilts. Thank you so much! subscribed and happy to find your channel. Blessings everyone.
I just subscribed to your channel. I just clicked on your video, mind you that I don’t sew. I don’t think I have ever sewn anything, but I loved what you just made and I will be trying it out. Loved your bubbly personality. I hope I will learn how to sew with your videos. I’m very excited in getting started. God bless!!!!
O M G soooooo finishing Christmas with these!!!! Putting two widths together and however long needed to make a big quilt.... Zip zip DONE!!! TY TY TY SO MUCH FOR THIS AMAZING IDEA!!!!
I have had a couple of people try and show me how to make quilts and they had no success. But I watched you do it and I can understand it now. Your my favorite person to watch on you tube. Please keep the videos coming.
Wow that turned out so pretty, great cheat, lm like you the easier the better and if it turns out pretty thats a big bonus. thank you so much for your lovely advice.
I am getting back into sewing as I have 1 great granddaughter and a great grandson (he will be here in May ) and I want to make rag quilts for them so they have something from Great Grandma. This really looks easy I am going to give it a try. Plus this would be great to make for charities. Thank you for this video (even if it is 6 years old)
This is amazing I am making a king size one for my bed. I have used 3 different fabrics on each side. So it will be reversible. I was going to make it by blocks. This so much faster. Can't wait to get it finished. Thank you for sharing.
Let me start by saying I LOVE your channel!!! You make everything you do easy for us to follow and try ourselves as well as give us a few needed laughs along the way!
Always wanted to make one and didn't know where to start. What a fun video to watch and and learn by. Now I know what to do with my stash of denim which I have collecting for years. You are hilariously entertaining...Thank you!!!
Hi Darlene. I watched this video last night on my television. You inspired me, so now I am making a rag rug with this "no cutting blocks" method for my grandson. Good way to use up my pile of flannels!
I made a rag quilt with flannel .2 colors. Made squares and then sewed it all back together. Took me a week! I love this idea! I am loving your video! You're fun!
This is GENIUS! I've only made 1 tag quilt before for myself and I LOVE it but the square measuring, cutting, and resewing was a nightmare for me! This gives me hope and excitement to try again. I'm in love with this idea and I hope it turns out just as well for me as yours did! Thank you!!!
First time viewer on this channel and I absolutely adore Darlene! She’s so engaging, humorous and encouraging! I can’t wait to check out more tutorials!❤️🔥🙌✨💐
Thank you SO much! I wish I had seen this before Christmas because it would have saved me hours! I made several quilts, but didn't finish all of them because I did it the old way of cutting, matching, and then sewing. They took forever!
Now THAT was clever! I thoroughly enjoyed your video! Your enthusiasm, your casual style of not getting all bogged down with being fussy about measuring (so different from Home-Ec class!) was so refreshing. Your imaginative method of making this rag quilt was genius! I've made ONE rag quilt a few years ago, started out with squares and took forever to finish! Your way makes so much more sense, and I just loved how that quilt turned out! I'm a disabled, retired Grandma, sewing in my laundry room, and I just realized I could've saved a million hours if I'd found your videos sooner! Thank you so much! You just made my day. Now I'm going to "binge-watch" more of your videos! WOW!
How fun! I sew for our local NICU always looking for thick idea's. Marshall Dry Goods have excellent price on panels for children. They get most of my Fabric business. That and batting is all they sell. Fast service.
Ingenious. I'm new to this fanclub. I love it. Omg we could be long lost sisters I think the same way. Lol if it's not easy...I dont want to do it. You are amazing. Than you.
Thank u sooooo much for keeping it simple for simpletons like myself....I've been wanting to make one of these, but can't sew much....mostly because lack of patience to learn more....I just luv ur no fuss no mess no big deal if it's not perfect.....thanks again!
Thanks for that Darlene, that was soooo fun!! Come on guys, give this woman some thumbs up!!!!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!! THANKS FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!!!!
Darlene,you are so real!!! Dam,,,this is my first quilt video I wasn't fast forwarding,,or telling the screen to;'get on with it',,,!! ThankYOU for taking the time,sharing your own idea with us!!! I sure wish I had a mom just like YOU!!! Thanks again,you made my day brighter

the pillow case is a great tip - I can't wait to make my 1st rag quilt using Darlene's EASY method!
O my gosh. I'm so doing this for a co worker who's expecting a baby boy in 2 months. Ahhh. Love it.
I just adore your personality! thanks for sharing it and also your knowledge about quilting. You are a breath of fresh air. All your bits of humor and the whiny stuff like when you pricked your thumb with the pin..its just so unique to you. I love it. Please don't ever change for anyone.
i loved your way making everything easy and not being fussy about measuring and straight sewing, thank you 😍😘
I love this tutorial. I have no idea what I'm doing with quilt making but with your help I was able to make a lovely one for my little boy :)
I made one yesterday for my youngest grandson Rupert. Thanks Darlene. Xx
Oh my Goodness.... that is adorable!! You are a genius!
Thank you so much this tutorial is awesome. And I love your personality. You seem like you would be so much fun to be around. And I think I will try to make one of these blankets. You make blankets not so scary LoL

Glad to see someone out my thoughts to action! I've thought about that concept for awhile.
And I love your machine. I have a 301, 401, 404, and 503. I use all of them!
Love this idea. A very clever short cut by not cutting individual squares and sewing back together. Nice. Thank you.
