>>583039actually I'm in the process of writing a book but I'll post anyway. I'm selling this specific blanket for 400 dorra if someone is interested.
Anywho here's my process after I have my pattern designed and counted out how much fabric/squares I'd need:
1. Cut two inch strips out of my fabric.
2. Cut strips into squares.
3. Organize squares into the rows they correspond to.
4. Label each row with a piece of paper and stick a pin in it.
5. Sew all the squares into the rows they go into. Tip: It's easier to keep the rows straight if you sew two squares together at a time. Don't sew one after the other or you'll get a fucked up row. Make sure each square is lined up perfectly before you send it through the machine.
6. Sew each row to the row next to it. Tip: Again, sew two rows together at a time. Don't start at one end and sew one on at a time. You'll get a crooked blanket.
7. If you want, sew a border on it. I had to for this blanket because it was so small. There's lots of ways to sew a border on. Google is your friend.
8. For my blankets, I sew them together not like conventional quilts. I sew the back to the front so it'd be inside out but I leave a foot opening on one side. You can then pull it right side out through the opening.
9. Finish it by sewing a hem around the entire blanket, effectively closing the foot wide opening.
Voila! You are le done. I'll post pictures next.
ps. This is a lot harder than it looks. I've been sewing since I was little and went to Parsons for fashion design (okay so I transferred and changed my major, but still.) If you want to do something like this, practice sewing something less complicated first.
