This week the project for Skirting the Issue is blankets. These can be quilts or fleece blankets or anything in-between. The tutorial provided be Simple Simon and Company (the organizers of this drive) can be found here. Using just two pieces of fabric - one 30 inches square and one 40 inches square these instructions make a self binding blanket with mitered corners. There is no batting involved so the result is light weight. I used flannel on the back and cotton on the front and since I wanted to use this animal print and didn't have a 30 inch square of it I added the green print:
It was super easy to put together although I admit that at first I did the corners wrong and had a "box" instead of a flat blanket...but still, it was really easy.
