Remember the Easy Peasy Burp Cloths from Monday???
I had enough fabric leftover to make a little rag quilt
Did I need another baby blanket??? Maybe not, but it seems you can never have enough these lightweight cozy blankies- perfect for stuffing in your diaper bag and using as a playmat, shading from the sun, an extra layer when it gets cold, etc.
Here's what you'll need:
- 9 Squares/Rectangles
- 1 Large piece for the back
1. With wrong sides together sew 3 pieces together into a row leaving a 1/2" seam allowance. Repeat with the next 2 rows
2. Sew the 3 rows together to form your blanket top
3. Add 1 large piece to the back with wrong sides together and sew all the way around 1/2" from the edge.
Go to town snipping away at that seam allowance- make sure you cut close to the seam but don't cut the seam line. And then throw it in the dryer- the more it's washed, the more "raggy" it will get:)
perfect way to use up a bit of your flannel scraps!





















Sooo cute!! I always wondered how to make these!
