- Rotary Cutter, 6″ x 24″ Ruler, and Mat

Flannel Rag Quilt Throw Sewing Tutorial
Approx. Finished Size: 50″ W x 60″ L
Read all directions before beginning. All Seam Allowances 1/2″.
Determine desired throw size and patchwork layout. Today, we’re sharing a 50″ x 60″ flannel rag quilt throw with 5″ finished quilt blocks. Our 50″ x 60″ throw quilt features 120 blocks: 10 blocks wide and 12 blocks long.
- Using Rotary Cutter, 6″ x 24″ Ruler, and Cutting Mat, cut 240 assorted 6″ New! Autumn Comfort Flannel Fabrics fabric squares. Cut 6″ crosswise fabric strips, and subcut into 6″ fabric squares or quilt blocks.
When cutting fleecy or lofty fabrics, flip your rotary cutting mat over and cut fabrics on the reverse side of the cutting mat. Because fleece and flannel fabric fibers may stick within the rotary cutting lines on a cutting mat, using the reverse side of the mat will protect the front of the mat and extend the life of the mat.
Determine Block Partners
Our Flannel Rag Quilt is a quilt-as-you-go project! The quilt top and quilt back will be sewn together in one easy step.
- Choose block partners: One fabric will be the quilt top and the second fabric will be the quilt back.
- Place quilt block partners wrong sides together. Wonder Clip or Pin.
If your sewing machine has dual feed, like our Bernina B970, engage the dual feed when stitching together the fabric layers!
Stitch Blocks
Insert a new Schmetz Jeans Denim Needles Size 90/14 and set sewing machine for a straight stitch with a 2.5 mm stitch length.
- Stitch two block partners wrong sides together (four fabric layers), with 1/2″ seam allowances, using Clover 6-in-1 Stick ‘n Stick Seam Guide.
- Repeat steps above and stitch all 120 quilt block partners into pairs, paring dark fabrics with light fabrics.
Patchwork Quilt Layout
- Place quilt block pairs in desired quilt layout: 10 blocks wide and 12 blocks long.
Stitch Block Pairs
- Place two block pairs wrong sides together. Wonder Clip or Pin.
- Stitch block pairs wrong sides together with 1/2″ seam allowances, and create rows of five pairs (10 quilt blocks).
Stitch Quilt Rows
- Place two block rows wrong sides together. Wonder Clip or Pin.
- Stitch block rows together with 1/2″ seam allowance, using Clover Stilletto/Awl to guide seam allowances under presser foot.
- Repeat steps above and assemble quilt/throw with 10 quilt blocks wide by 12 quilt blocks long.
- Edgestitch along all four quilt edges with 1/2″ seam allowance.
- Using Spring Loaded Rag Quilting Snips, “clip” quilt outer edges, and all seam allowances, with 1/2″ clips. Note: Take care to not cut stitching lines. When quilt is washed, seam allowances will ravel and create the rag quilt edges.
