Below is one of several free quilt projects for our online visitors.
Infant Snuggle Wrap
This project is incredibly fast, and is a good use for all the scraps left over from your flannel Rag quilts.click to see larger image
Fabric Requirements: 1 1/4 yards assorted flannels (top)
1/2 yard flannel (binding)
1 yard flannel (back)
crib sized cotton batting
The top is composed of twelve columns. Each column has seven bricks and two blocks.
1. Cut 84 assorted colored bricks 3 1/4" x 6". Cut 24 blocks 3 1/4" square. Larger quilts can be made by enlarging the dimensions of the bricks and blocks, or by simply adding more and longer columns.
2. Join 7 bricks and 2 blocks in patterns that vary from column to column.
3. Once the quilt top is assembled, sandwich the top, a thin cotton batt and flannel back. We *spray-basted the layers together.
4. Quilt, using a large, machine meandering stitch. It is also possible to tie, or hand quilt.
5. Bind, using 2 1/2" flannel strips (6) joined into one continuous binding strip. Fold strip in half, lengthwise. Sew strip to front of quilt sandwich, raw edges together, mitering corners. Turn binding to back side, stitch in place by hand. If using plaid, you may want to cut bias strips for the binding.
Quilt will shrink a bit and soften in the wash.
*Spray baste is a spray-on, temporary adhesive. Much faster than hand basting or pin basting. Capital Quilts carries what you need.
