Make Rag Baby Quilts
Create fabric sandwiches by stacking the squares. Place one cotton print wrong side up on your work surface. Place one flannel square over the first square. Top off the sandwich with the other cotton print right side up. Match the edges evenly and pin. Repeat the sandwiches until all the squares are used.
Top stitch an "X" across the fabric sandwiches, quilting the layers together.
Lay out the fabric sandwich on a flat surface, alternating the two different fabric prints that are facing up, creating a check board design. Make rows of five square sandwiches wide with seven rows long total.
