Master-class №1 - blanket patchwork

You will need:

• 4 types of fabric of different colors;
• fleece;
• Sewing machine and other sewing accessories;
• Needle and thread for embroidery (mulina);

When choosing tissues, it is necessary to take into account that the skin of the child will be constantly in contact with them, therefore it is necessary to take natural materials, and not synthetic ones.

2. Now we need to make them. To do this, add the adjacent squares beside the sides and squeeze out their contiguous sides, stepping back 1 cm. We must iron the allowances.
3. We do so with the remaining squares. The received 24 pairs, we sew in the same way on 4. And then and received strips too. We smooth the patchwork from the wrong side.
4. Draw the inscription on the last white square and embroider it with blue threads with a "back needle" seam.
5. We put our patchwork cloth on the front side on a piece of fleece, chop off and cut off excess.
6. We spend them around the edges, retreating 1 cm. A 10 cm hole should be left below.
7. The corners are rounded off.
8. Turn it to the front side and stop the hole.

Our blanket is ready.
