Crafty Creations 7: Rag Quilt

I am always cold (it doesn't matter how hot it is) so I always have a blanket on hand. This blanket is nice to have since it is not too big and bulky (so it doesn't get too hot during the summer, yet just right for during the winter also). It also makes a great couch decoration to break up the solid color of the couch. I made this blanket about 3 years ago and it has held up very nicely with its many uses and washing's.

Materials:
Flannel Fat Folds (6 patterns, 2 of each pattern) (more or less depending on how big you want it)
Scissors
Fabric cutter and mat
Thread
Sewing machine (do not recommend hand sewing this blanket)

Directions:
Wash all fabric fat folds
Cut 4 squares from each fat fold (recommend using fabric cutter and mat to cut so all squares are the same size)
Place 2 square pieces (of same pattern) together with backs of material facing each other.

Layout each double square into a pattern on table to place together the blanket (this way you can plan out the placement of the squares to avoid same pattern or colors next to each other)
Place 2 doubled squares together

Sew along each side. (will sew these together so that the rough edge is to one side) (want this to be showing when done) (see picture)
Sew together one row (continue until all rows are complete)
Sew together completed row together (making sure all the sewn edges are on same side of blanket)
Once all rows are sewn together sew around the outer edge of the blanket to hold the pieces together.
Cut along each edge (including the edges in the middle of blanket) about 1/2 inch apart.
Wash  the blanket once cutting is complete to give it a raggedy look to it.
