They are made with Flannel Fabrics. DO NOT WASH THEM BEFORE SEWING !
This is my very high tech pattern :)
Squares ! I cut mine to 6" and used seven squared in each row. This makes a quilt that is about 35"
Here they are all matched up in their rows. You'll want to pin each front and back piece together. I did seven rows to make my quilt square.
Sewing the squares together. You do not need to sew around each individual square. Instead just sew the hems onto two squares at a time.
This is a 1/2 inch hem. Shown here is the two squares sewn together. You want to continue to add a square and only sew the hem. Make sure that the hem is always facing to the same side. You want all of your raggy hems to be facing the same way and the back to be smooth.
Here is two rows of seven squares. I placed them on top of each other, lined up the hems, and pinned them together. Once again you want to sew a 1/2 inch hem.
Here are the rows after they have been sewn together.
The Hems should like like this, all facing up, before they are snipped.
And after the hem is snipped.
Raggy ! After Washing.
I adore these new items and hope you all do as well !
These are adorable! And I happen to love your high-tech pattern! :) Thanks for the tutorial. Over from Dragonfly Designs.
ReplyDeleteI love these quilts! My sister-in-law makes them for all the nieces and nephews, and yes, they are SUPER soft! Love it! {And I love the colors and fabs you used! Very cute!}
ReplyDeleteVery cute. What is the size of the squares?
ReplyDeleteThe squares are originally cut to be 6". They are about 5" after the quilt is complete.
ReplyDeleteThese came out gorgeous! I really want to make one of these someday. I'm saving your post on my bookmarks so that I can refer back! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty & cute! I envy people with the patience to sew; I just can't do it! I love how soft and cuddly they look.
ReplyDeleteThose look so good! I've been wanting to learn to make those for a long time. Thanks for the instructions. After you get the rows sewn together, do you just go around the outer edge? And do you cut all the way to the seam, or leave a little allowance?
