Detailed master class on sewing a baby quilt
Size 88 x 88cm
Materials:
From the companion fabrics we cut out strips 9.5 cm widePlace them with their right sides together and pin them together. Divide the strips into squares, the side of the square is 9.5 cm. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner. This will be the cutting line.
Stitch on both sides of the diagonal to the width of the allowance
Cut the strip into squares, cut the squares along a diagonal line into triangles
Iron, cut off corners. You will get two-color squares. Arrange the squares as in the photo.
Sew the squares into a block. You need 9 of these blocks.When all the blocks are ready, they need to be aligned to the same size, mine is 15 x 15 cm. From the fabric with the pictures and one of the companion fabrics, cut out 16 squares the size of the "Twirl" block.
Prepare the blocks for stitching, lay them out as in the photo
First sew the blocks into strips, the strips into fabric. Sew on the border.
I decided to make a composite border, you can do itone-color. Here everything depends on your imagination. For the border, cut strips 9 cm wide. I cut the strips into rectangles 11 and 20 cm. Here again the choice is yours, you can make a border from squares.
Sew the edging to two opposite sides (do not cut off the excess fabric yet)
Turn over, iron
Sew the edging to the other two opposite sides, having previously cut off the excess fabric at the corners. After the edging has been sewn and ironed, cut off the excess triangles.
Lay the fabric for the back side out with the right side down
Place the filler on top
We lay out the finished top of the future blanket on the filling
You need to secure all three layers with pins orsweep. Now you need to quilt all three layers so that the blanket will serve you for a long time and will not deform when washed. The easiest way to quilt a product, if you do not have a free stitch, is a stitch in the seam.
Sew the blanket along all seams.I quilted the triangles and border with a free-stitch, but a seam stitch will do. You can quilt the border in straight lines or diamonds, marking them with chalk or a disappearing marker.
Trim off excess fabric and filling
The blanket is almost ready, all that remains is to trim it.For the edging, cut strips along the entire length from the selected fabric, 5 cm wide. One strip will not be enough for you, so sew the strips as follows: Place the first strip face up, place the beginning of the second strip perpendicular to it, with the wrong side up. Sew diagonally from corner to corner Cut off the excess, leaving an allowance The length of the edging - multiply by 4 the length of the sides of the blanket, add 30 cm. My blanket sides are 88 cm, 88 x 4 = 352 +30 = 382 cm Sew first to the front side. At the end of the strip, tuck a corner, start the stitching 15 cm from the beginning of the strip Sew, stopping 0.5 cm before reaching the corner Form the corners. Turn the long strip up at an angle of 45 Turn the strip towards you and down, align the cuts Start stitching from the edge Thus, sew the edging along the entire perimeter, stopping 10-15 cm before the beginning. I sew the last corner and stop after 5 cm, when the ends of the edging are long, it is more convenient to sew them. Sew the ends in the same way as we sewed the strips for the edging Cut off the excess, leaving an allowance and sew. Sew the edging to the wrong side, I baste, then stitch. Fold the corners on the wrong side as in the photo. This is how the corners look from the front side You can sew the edging on the wrong side with a blind stitch, I always sew on the machine for strength on children's blankets. Here's what I got:
