I don't plan on giving this quilt an official name or label, because I donate these to the Child Advocacy Center. I started this quilt on May 24th and finished it yesterday. (They really don't take very long to make, but we took a mini-vacation during that time, too.) It is made from a bundle of fat quarters of Banner Day fabric from Robert Kaufman Fabrics that I purchased from The Fat Quarter Shop in January of 2020, so that counts as one of my unused pre-cuts. The bundle included 12 fat quarters, which was exactly what I needed for this style of rag quilt.
These fat quarters were a little short lengthwise and a little long in height, so I ended up cutting the panels at 20 x 18.5 inches. I sewed the individual fabric and batting sandwiches together on my sewing machine, and then quilted each one on my long-arm. I used light grey Sewology thread from Hobby Lobby for the quilting, and I quilted them all in an all-over swirl motif. After sewing the quilted panels together on my sewing machine, clipping the seams and edges, and washing it, the quilt finished at 33.5 x 46.5 inches, not including the outer fringe.
