I hope someone will be able to help you, Jody. I have never done a rag quilt, but it is on my 'to-do' list, so I would be interested in the answer, too!

I've done rag quilts, but I'm not sure what you are asking...please be more detailed and I'd love to help you!

Hi Jody,,

do you mean when you sew 4 squares with batting together they bunch in the center? if it is what you mean then unsew a couple of threads so that your four patch has a small four patch in the center...this link shows the Merry go round block... if you look at the last page you will see the directions for sewing the block together... it shows how to clip the threads and make a mini merry go round in the center of the block... the same can be done at each of your "intersections" in your rag quilt...

if you need more help please ask... best of luck to you... and please post a picture when you're done, we love to ooohhh and awwww

oops, looks like my attachment isn't working...look at the top of this page for free patterns and check out hte merry go round block..
