Now, I have sewed in my lifetime, but I haven't sewed in, let's say a few years. So, sewing something seemed like a daunting project for my first undertaking. Then, I remembered the "No Sew" quilts my Mom used to make as Christmas presents. They were always well loved.
We have decided to go with a book theme for the nursery, and we have found some cute things. However, we struggled to find the perfect Curious George addition (we wanted a shelf and cute stickers, but the stickers were just too small). Until, we found the perfect fabric!
As you can see my dog, Chloe, wanted to help design the quilt as well!
Here are the step for the simple "no sew" quilt:
1) Buy 2 colors of flannel fabric. I bought 1 yard for the baby blanket. I think my mom always bought 2 yards for an adult sized blanket.
2) You lie the two fabrics on top of each other, evenly.
3) You cut four squares at each of the corners about 3-4 inches deeps (depending on how long you want your strips to be).
4) Then you cut strips about 2 inches long and 3-4 inches deep (depending on how long you cut your squares).
5) Then you tie the strips from the two different fabrics together!
My final product looked like this. It took me about an hour - not too bad at all!
