Cute Little Baby Blanket

Just a quick little blanket tutorial. This one i  really enjoyed making and i have no doubt that i'll be making a few more. I love that it's simple  colorful  soft  and cute. Oh i already can't wait to make another one!

What I Used: White Fabric cut 30"x40" White piece of flannel cut 30"x40" Light blue minky Fabric cut 30"x40" A bunch of 4" triangles cut in fabric of your choice. Blanket Binding Thread Scissors Of course a sewing machine ;)

Fist i cut a bunch of 4" triangles

And then i cut out a 30" by 40" piece of white fabric.

I played with different ways i wanted the triangles to look on the blanket.

Once i decided then I pinned them down in place.

And zig-zag sewed them down.

Next i took my white flannel and my light blue minky fabric and layered them on top of each other and cut them 30" by 40" -same size as my first piece.

Then I placed them all on top of each other as seen below and pinned all the layers together

So that i could sew across the top of the triangles.

Do you see the white stitching that the arrow is pointing to?

Starting at one end you'll sew all the way across the top of the triangles.

Next i took my blanket binding or you can use bias tape i have a tutorial to make your own HERE!

I pinned down one side at a time and mitered one corner at a time. If you've never mitered before here is a great tutorial Once I sewed binding all the way around I was done!  I just cut off the extra little threads.

Beautiful! There are a few things i would do differently next time like using matching thread on the binding (which i had and didn't know!)  Ahhh so many possibilities for this cute little blanket! I think i'll be whipping up a few more!
