All of the rag quilts that I've made, I started out with 10" flannel squares and 8" batting squares. They are big and simple and warm. Oh so warm! I usually make the quilt 7 blocks by 9 blocks. Good luck!

Here's a tutorial that doesn't use batting. Super easy and fun.

My daughter 7 I do 7" flannel. some flannelis are wider than others. We do a lot of them & decided That was gooduse of yardage. We use 7x8, 9, or 10 depending on who quilt is for 7x8 for baby . Any fabric left over we keep & incoroporate in another quilt. We sometimes use 7 fabrics in quilt or 2 depends on what we or alternate 3 fabrics. but cut them 7".. they are fun 7 warm.

You can make it any size you want. The 8-10" sizes are about the smallest I would consider.

I like to make mine with 9" flannel squares (this will get three rows out of a yard), and 8" batting squares. I do put an X through the center of each block. My daughter was being silly here, in front of the quilt I made her last year.

My best friend did her rag quilt with 10" squares and it was really nice for her husband.

My guess is that flannel sticks to flannel, so no "X" is needed?

I do most of mine with strips WOF, and then as long a I like. Always welcome, always good looking, always quick to do.

I like to cut my blocks in 8 or 10 inch squares for the best use cross-wise of the fabric. I do not use batting on flannel quilts, but use a complementary color flannel for three layers. This way it makes the fluff or fringe much fluffier especially for baby quilts. I do not need to sew the "x" in the middle as all the seams are sewn together. I f I use batting for adult quilts, I spray baste the batting to one of the pairs of squares which makes it easier to sew them together. I have used homespun for adult quilts. My husband calls his "His Magic Quilt" as every time he uses it he goes right to sleep.
