Rag Alphabet

I've been working on this project a little bit at a time - a quilted rag alphabet. I had just enough of the blue chenille backing to complete the letters and it was a fun project for using up 6"x5" scraps. I still need to make a drawstring bag to house them. Tutorial at Happy Together, found via whipup.

Rag quilted letters

And thanks to everyone for the nice comments on my "book stacks" quilt. I'm happy to know it wasn't just me who really liked it.

Very very cute!!!
My mom does something similar by putting the letter on a bib and letting it fray.

I don't need to add any projects, but these sure are a cute idea.

I love the back of your quilt below! The blue is perfect.
