Our local Fabric Store has such a beautiful selection of Fabrics at the moment. I could not resist these beautiful Hello Kitty Prints in Flannel. They were just right for a Rag Quilt Project that I have been meaning to do for such a long time.

I used 7 by 10 rows of 20cm squares to fit a single bed.
A rotary cutter would have been really useful at this point, as 140 squares is a lot to cut out with a pair of scissors, but alas, it's still on my list of things to get.
Next I cut out 70 squares of batting. They were 17cm, which gave me a seam allowance of 1,5cm on all sides.
Then I Sandwiched them all together, right sides on the outside and batting in the middle. Top stitched them together with an X. Sewed them all together in rows and then sewed the rows together.
I used a tiny zig-zag to seam them together, as it just didn't feel right not zig-zagging a frayed edge.
Snipped all the edges...

So its hanging on the line at the moment, and the Fray edges look so much more... Frayed!
Yay, success!
