Rag quilt letters


I made a set of cotton letters for my niece Ella's first birthday.  I followed this tutorial from a blog called Happy Together.

I just grabbed a bunch of cotton scraps and made each letter a different fabric, the same front and back.  For the middle layer I used Warm and Natural batting.  I thought it "ragged" the best after a few washings.  I decided not to quilt the letters, like she did on the tutorial.  I tried one with quilting and one without, and liked them the same, so went with the easier style!  For the letters I used the font Ariel Black in size 500.  (Set them to "outline" style so you don't use up so much ink.)


Happy birthday, sweet Ella!
