This Weeks Rag Quilting Project -Day 3

I have had a couple of really busy days and am a little behind on keeping my blog up daily. I strive to do better though! 

Here is the final layout of the rag quilt. I moved the browns and dark pinks out to balance things a little better.

 
TIP: Working with chenille and minky requires TONS of pinning to reduce slippage of the slick backside of the minky. Here is how I pinned all of my sandwiches. This process takes much longer than using non-slick fabrics.

 
Here is where I am stopping tonight. I sewed all of the X's and started joining a few of the rows together. I will be finishing this Sunday afternoon and will post more pics then.
