Baby Rag Blanket

This is one of Taysha's favorite blankets I made for her and it was all done out of scrap material I had.

To make an approximate 38x53 in. Blanket:

• cut 36 8x8 in. squares in favorite fabric
• I used 4 different fabrics, so I cut 9 8x8 in. squares out of each
• cut 36 8x8 in squares in flannel or fleece

~Sew a fabric square to a flannel square by stitching an x from one corner to the other (right sides of fabric together). Repeat for all 36 squares.
~Create the pattern you like and sew blocks together.  Place flannel sides together and stitch 1/2 in seam along one side.  Place another block to one of those, flannel sides together, and sew a 1/2 in seam along one side.  Repeat until you have a strip with 5 blocks sewn together. Repeat for next 5 blocks, making sure your pattern is correct, until you have 7 strips of 5 blocks sewn together.
~Line up seams and blocks with flannel sides together and sew your first two strips together using 1/2 in seams.  Open up and then add your third strip by placing flannel sides together, making sure pattern is correct, and sew using 1/2 in. seam. Repeat until all strips are sewn together.
~Sew a 1/2 in. seam around the whole blanket.
~Cut edges to create the rag look.
~Wash and enjoy!
