I can answer this! You snip the seam allowance (without snipping the stitch!!) at 1/4 - 1/2 inch intervals, creating a fringe effect. With some fabrics, the more it gets washed the more it frays, giving it raggedy look.

If I get a chance tomorrow( its 11:41pm here) I will post a few pics of rag quilts I have made.

Yeah, I cut mine every 1/4 inch. It takes a little while, but after that wash it and it may take a few times, but it looks cute

Thanks to Zahboo I have gotten my quilting butt in gear again. I wish this had photographed in the colors that it actually is, but it didn't. It is burgundy, dark purple/periwinkle and the outside border and background is an oriental metallic in burg/periwinkle/turquoise and green.

Quilt from a blue strip swap. Same thing happened with this one, the yellow is sunny yellow. duh? Unfinished top. Background is 40s blue print.

Gorgeous Verthandi! I am working on 2 quilts atm. One for my FFA advisor. It has bears (school mascot) a blue and gold wheat pattern (blue and gold are ffa colors) and a khaki that ties them together. It's a bold quilt, and I'm not in the mood to sew atm, but this weekend maybe..
