Tip: A Simple Handmade Baby Quilt:
Handmade Baby Quilts that are simple, cheap and they
are machine washable.
You will need a couple of yards of soft colorful flannel.
Measure your baby crib before you go to the fabric store or order online.
You will find lots of cute baby patterns to choose from. Also you will
need quilt batting. The quilt batting goes in between the pieces of
flannel. You also need matching yarn and a needle to be able to sew
the yarn through the fabric. So to sum up:
1) Several yards of flannel measure your crib. You
will need enough for the front and back of baby quilt.
2) Yarn that matches the fabric or contrasts depending
on your color scheme and design.
3) Needle to accommodate the yarn.
Basically to construct the baby quilt, you measure
out the flannel to fit your crib. You need a top and bottom. Measure
out the quilt batting to sandwich in between the two pieces of flannel.
Take the two pieces of flannel and measure a half
inch all around the edges of both pieces. A simple way is to measure
and iron the edge under. You are turning under the edges towards the
wrong side on all four sides of both pieces.
Now sandwich together the flannel and batting so the
batting is in between the two pieces of flannel, right sides out. Now
you are going to hand stitch all around the edges. Simple whip stitch
is fine, but feel free to experiment. When done, you can then use the
yarn to tie down the batting inside, so it doesn't bunch up. Just stitch
the yarn in then out then cut to length and tie off at intervals all
over the quilt. The Baby Quilt is finished!
Hint: Try creating some yarn tassels to add to the
corners, use creative stitching.
