Throwing away good fabric is an unacceptable waste, especially if the fabric is good and beautiful, and there are quite a few pieces. Check out a great idea to use leftovers wisely - a delightful patchwork quilt , which will serve you faithfully for more than one year!
To sew a patchwork blanket, you need to calculate the dimensions in advance, draw a diagram of the future blanket and the location of the pieces of fabric. Will it be squares or rectangles , whether you lay them out in bricks or in a simple checkerboard pattern - all these details depend solely on your imagination and desire. In addition to pieces of cloth , which in this master class craftswoman used 200 pieces, you need a piece of fabric for the reverse side, as well as insulation and inlay. All work will be carried out on a sewing machine.
Lay the piece of fabric face down, put insulation on top. At the top, lay out the pieces of fabric in the right order: for example , in chess.
We connect all the pieces with a bait, basting simple stitches with your hand.
On a typewriter, we sew pieces together with a simple line, connecting them together with insulation and fabric.
To decorate the edge, we use an inlay and a piece of fabric for the second side.
