You tin brand blankets as well as donate them
at a local chapter...or post service them in.
There are many ways to help...and it would brand a fun service activity!
Check the website for to a greater extent than information I am thence excited close this project.
About 12 years agone I bought everything I needed to brand this blanket.
And at that topographic point it sat...getting older as well as older.
I bought 12 adorable striped bandannas.
And had this fluffy but sturdy fleece for close every bit long.
So, larn inwards your goal to complete 1 of the projects you've started today! ;)
So, for this amazingly uncomplicated blanket I used 12 bandannas as well as a large slice of fleece to match.
The fleece I industrial plant life it extra thick as well as sturdy, so, I didn't role whatsoever cotton wool batting at all!
I started yesteryear sewing the bandanna's together.
I decided to produce the pinkish stripes vertical as well as the bluish stripes horizontal.
First, run upwardly ii bandannas together, as well as thence run upwardly on the side yesteryear side bandanna.
I did iv rows of iii bandannas.
Once the rows are sewn, run upwardly the rows together.
I'm ever super thrilled when all iv squares tally upwardly perfectly!
After the bandannas are sewn together, house it on the fleece.
Here's the easiest means to quilt this sucker.
Put the incorrect sides together...so the finished surfaces are visible.
Then larn some security pins as well as pivot it inwards place.
Trim the backing border thence at that topographic point is close a 1 inch border around the entire quilt.
Like this--don't seat the pins also closed to the border,
thence you lot won't convey to take away them when sewing.
Now, curlicue the fleece border ii times as well as run upwardly it inwards house correct on transcend of the bandanna.
Once you lot larn to the corner only run upwardly to the edge.
Turn the whole auto as well as curlicue the side yesteryear side border of fleece over the bandanna edge.
After the entire border is sewn, produce a similar a shot stitch correct through the see of the blanket.
Just run upwardly each as well as every seam line.
To run upwardly the center, only curlicue the balance of the blanket as well as sew.
Because at that topographic point is no batting, it fits only great!
Ta-da! This finished blanket is 5' yesteryear 7'!
This would hold upwardly a fantastic picnic blanket!
It's soft as well as bright...and super cuddly!
And, best part...it's tardily to launder because let's hold upwardly existent here.
If it can't hold upwardly auto washed, it doesn't belong inwards my house!
And it was rapidly confiscated as well as snuggled with!
Love it!
I desire to brand some other one--and this fourth dimension I'll complete it inwards less than 12 years!
These would hold upwardly a swell gift!
This is also a swell start sewing project...
perchance for a immature adult woman to brand for somebody for Christmas!
Or, brand a bunch for
Project Linus!
