Quilted mini blanket using Japanese technologyPatchwork is useful not only in the apartment. It will be relevant in the country or for going on a picnic. This product is not only colorful, but also cozy, warm, homey. The master class we offer in this article will help to sew a beautiful and useful product with your own hands even for a craftswoman who has no experience in patchwork sewing. What do we mean by patchwork? This technique has been familiar since ancient times, since many have seen patchwork blankets sewn by our grandmothers. Since earlier, thanks to this style, not only bedding but also clothes were made, patchwork became very popular in times of crisis. Today, by using Japanese patchwork in needlework, you can make not only decorative items, but also interior items, accessories. A special stitch in this style is sewing with even stitches with a needle forward. The quality of the product as a whole depends on how uniform the stitches are. In order to sew a quilted mini blanket using Japanese patchwork technology, you do not need to graduate from a special university. It is enough to carefully follow the step-by-step instructions of the master class. So, in this case, you need to start with the selection of the color scheme of the patches. This proposal is only hypothetical and the colors presented are not mandatory. Everyone can choose their own combinations that are close in mood and purpose of the future blanket.This master class is designed to create six mini blankets, each of which is approximately 45 centimeters wide and 50 centimeters long. For this you will need:

one and a half square meters of various pieces of fabric, solid in structure;
a two-meter section of material that will serve as the back of the product;
two square meters of batting;
tape for the edging, having a width of about 6 centimeters and a length of 13 meters;
strong thread for sewing;
tailoring pins;
needles for sewing hands.

At the initial stage, you should cut the fabric,which is intended for making the upper part of the future blanket into strips, the width of which will be 4 centimeters. Next will be a wider strip. Those strips that have the brightest colors need to be cut into two parts. They will be dividing. Then comes a narrower strip.During the assembly process, you should adhere tousing the same algorithm, which will be considered in the photos below. Everyone can combine stripes to their taste. The condition for a successful result will be the contact of the light and dark stripes. The machine seam from the edge should be at a distance of six millimeters. From the wide strip, you should cut off a piece that will have a length of 7 centimeters when measured.Next, cut off the same piece of fabric in a darker color. These pieces are sewn together as shown in the photo below.Another strip of a darker color, identical to the previous one, is sewn onto the resulting piece.We lay out the resulting piece lengthwise and sew on a strip of a light shade perpendicularly on both sides.In the same way, in the given sequence we build a drawing of the required width and length. The color scheme alternates by color.In principle, it is quite possible to insert thin strips of fabric with a different pattern into the given work algorithm.Once you have finished making the front or face of the mini blanket, you should begin the quilting process. At this stage, you will need batting and fabric that will be the base for the product.The top part is leveled, alignedperimeter with scissors (if necessary). After this, the base must be placed on a hard surface, then - a layer of batting, all this is covered with the main part of the product. This part should be slightly smaller than the layers of batting and fabric base.I chipped the blank with tailor's needles and startedthe process itself, which is a feature of Japanese patchwork - quilting. You can work either by hand or on a machine. It is important to put stitches along the groove between stripes of different colors. After finishing the process, the back of the blanket will have a pattern like this:The edges of the product should be processed using factory edging tape. The tape should be sewn together with the batting, the base and the front side of the blanket.Having secured the edging on the inside with a blind stitch, you can confidently admire your creation while gathering a group of friends for a picnic!
