Making a patchwork blanket: a master class for beginners
If you are new to technology patchwork, you can use more simple circuits. To make a blanket according to a simplified scheme, you will need a plain calico, a sheet of padding polyester, shreds different color.
First you need to cut at least 50 squares of fabric. The side of each must be at least 21 centimeters. Pieces can be combined different colors. This will help you create a unique pattern.
The algorithm for sewing a blanket for beginners is as follows:
- Lay out the squares on any surface. Form a pattern, and carefully consider the composition of the product.
- Start stitching the patches. Sew strips of squares, and then connect them together. Do not forget to smooth the canvas from time to time. This will keep the fabric from shrinking.
- Make the lining for the quilt. Remember to leave small allowances.

How to sew a patchwork quilt quickly
Many masters working in the patchwork style adhere to the "quick squares" technique. This technology saves a lot of time.
When making a blanket using the quick square method, you will need several chintz patterns. Before starting work, the fabric must be soaked in hot water and then rinse thoroughly. Then starch the chintz, and go over the material with an iron.
The technique for making a blanket from squares is as follows:
- From 2 pieces of fabric of different colors, cut 2 strips of the same size. Then fold them face to face, and stitch the workpiece along one edge.
- Then cut a strip of chintz, the size of which should be the same width as the two previous strips combined.
- Sew the 3rd strip to the first two. Don't forget to put them face to face. As a result, you should get a semblance of a sleeve.
- Cut the resulting sleeve into several isosceles triangles.
- Prepared fabric for wrong side blankets (for example, chintz or cambric) spread on the surface. Lay out the padding polyester and the detail and double triangles on top (in the turn they should have a square configuration).
- Sew the product around the entire perimeter.
- Make a quilt edging. To do this, you will need a strip of natural fabric. It needs to be stitched to the blanket, and then tucked up, and stitched again.
- Treat all edges of the blanket in the same way.
Do-it-yourself double-sided patchwork bedspread
A double-sided patchwork bedspread looks harmonious if your room is designed in country style. To make a bedspread, you will need threads, a sewing machine, a knife, scissors, fabric patterns.
Before starting work, you need to make squares to create a bedspread. If the size of the finished fabric is 1.5x2.3 meters, it is advisable to use square flaps with a side of at least 23 cm. The size of the padding lining for the blanket should be somewhat smaller than the dimensions of the finished fabric.
The sewing technique of the bedspread is as follows:
- First you need to prepare the fabric. To do this, carefully wash and iron the material. If you are using cotton fabrics, it is recommended to starch them.
- After you have prepared the patches, fold the two squares to each other front side. Don't forget to leave a 1.5 cm allowance.
- Sew two squares.
- Sew another patch to the resulting workpiece. Repeat this procedure until you have a strip of 6 squares. You need to make at least 9 of these strips. After finishing the stitching, iron the resulting workpieces.
- Fold two adjacent strips right side together, and connect them with pins. Stitch the stripes. Repeat this procedure for all stripes.
- Put the finished front part of the bedspread inside out to the top, and put the synthetic winterizer on the canvas.
- Sew the lining to the flaps.
- Make a blank from a piece of fabric, the dimensions of which should be slightly larger than the size of the resulting canvas.
- Fix the workpiece with pins, and stitch it.
- Hem the corners of the resulting product.

First, determine which fabric will be the main one (it should be 4 times more than any other). Wash, dry and iron each piece of fabric well.
Now let's start cutting. Cut the fabric into strips 10 cm thick.
We sew, we iron.
Cut into blocks of 16 cm.
We start assembling the blanket. Preferably on a flat horizontal large surface. This may be the floor (but in the room that is least prone to patency and there is no access for children and animals). First, lay out the blocks with a slope (to the left down of the main color 6 pcs), and then to the left up, and also 6 pcs.
We continue row by row in the same way. It is desirable to lay out the main tone equally in each row.
Here you already have a future blanket. It needs to be stitched.
To do this, from the upper right corner, we begin to sew together, first, small blocks lying next to each other, and then, diagonally.
So we sew the whole blanket.
We iron again.
Now we cut off unnecessary corners around the entire perimeter. Sew on interlining and lining. We quilt a blanket. We sew the edges.
That's it - the zigzag patchwork quilt is ready!

| Eat different methods accelerated assembly of blocks. But if you are assembling blocks from different small pieces of fabric, then the assembly method on interlining will probably be the most effective. In this way, you can assemble a panel for a bag or pot holder, in a word, everything where you need to achieve the accuracy of matching corners. This method is suitable for assembling blocks from squares, i.e. where there will be seams in two directions - first horizontal, then vertical. | |
 |
1.
We need interlining (the thinnest one will do) with one adhesive side. We line the grid on the non-adhesive side according to the number of required squares. If in the finished product we have squares of 5 by 5 cm, then by adding another 1 cm to the seams on each side, we get a grid on the non-woven fabric with a side of each square of 7 cm. Thus, we should have non-woven fabric 35 by 35 cm. |
 |
2. Usually 1 cm is enough for an allowance, but if the fabric is thick or very loose, then perhaps 1.5 cm can be left. But I'm used to sewing along the edge of the foot, so I make an allowance from this calculation. A dotted line is visible on this grid - this will be the line of the future connecting seam. |
 |
3. The squares cut out of the fabric (necessarily with an allowance!), Put them on the adhesive side of the interlining and iron them. Note that the squares did not join exactly at the butt, this is not scary, it will even, perhaps, be easier to move on to the next operation when it will be necessary to bend the interlining along the marking lines. |
 |
4. Next, we fold the first row on the second along the grid marking line (right sides to each other) and make a line along the interlining according to the marking of the allowance (or focusing on the edge of the foot). |
 |
5.
And in this way we sew all the horizontal rows. Here I already ran ahead and ironed the first seam. I really wanted to see what happens... |
 |
6.
Cut off the fold edge with a roller knife or scissors. We iron out the seams. In the same way, we make vertical seams: fold with the front sides, sew one row, the second ..., cut the edge again and smooth it. |
 |
7. Everything, the canvas is assembled and the corners are connected perfectly. |
 |
8.
Here is what the block looks like from the inside. The advantages of this method: |

WHAT FABRICS ARE SUITABLE?
It is better if the fabrics are of the same quality. For beginners, cotton fabrics are ideal: products made from them are easy to wash, and most importantly, cut and sew. Choose drawings according to your own imagination. But for starters, it’s better to choose fabrics with a pattern in the same tone and combine them with plain fabrics. It is very important to cut off all the edges from them before starting cutting fabrics. 
WHAT YOU NEED FOR MARKING AND CUTTING
plastic templates
Pencils and markers
Ruler
knife cutter 
WHAT YOU NEED FOR MEASURING AND CUTTING
cutting mat
Round knife-cutter (with a blade in the form of a rotating wheel)
Raster rulers
pins
Scissors 
WHAT YOU NEED TO SIT AND EDGE
Thimble
Pins with heads
safety pins
Paper clips or clips
Pencils
Sewing needles
SIMPLE GEOMETRIC PATTERNS can be cut out using a regular raster ruler. For more complex shapes, use plastic templates instead of paper templates. They are not only more durable, but also transparent, so you can easily see the pattern on the fabric through them. On sale, you can sometimes also find templates with ready-made markup for geometric patterns. 
Fold the ironed fabric twice in the longitudinal direction so that four layers are obtained (the folds should run parallel to the edges). Lay the fabric on the cutting mat with the cuts facing to the right. Place the raster ruler at a right angle to the fold and trim the fabric sections. Unfold the fabric and check if the cuts are straight. IN last resort repeat the operation. 
Rotate the rug together with the fabric by 180 °, now the cuts should be on the left. Measure a strip of fabric. To measure, use the vertical scale on right side rulers. Cut off 3-4 strips. Turn the mat over again and trim the cuts. To get rectangles or triangles, cut the resulting squares accordingly. 
Fold two pieces face to face and sew along one side. Experienced craftswomen grind off the patches with one seam, without cutting the threads and without raising the foot of the machine. Attention: with this method of sewing, several stitches appear between the squares that do not grab the fabric. 
FOLDING PATTERNS
When sewing shreds, be sure to iron the allowances on a darker fabric. To get a square block of scraps, simply sew together two already stitched square scraps so that the patches from different fabrics are staggered. 
FOLDING PATTERNS
You can get stripes from patches in the following way: stitch squares from four square colored patches and rectangles or squares from plain fabric in a checkerboard pattern. After that, stitch again in a checkerboard pattern (with an offset) separate rows of shreds.
In the next photo, you will see that on the bedspread, each inner row consists of plain squares and blocks of four multi-colored patches. 
FOLDING PATTERNS
When the central part of the patchwork product is ready, start sewing the borders. The perimeter of the central part of the product determines the total length of the border. Usually, borders sewn to the sides of the central part are ground off with an “envelope corner”. The length of the border for each side is calculated as follows: the length (or width) of the central part of the product + double the width of the border (for the “envelope corner”) + seam allowances. When stitching the border to the side of the central part of the product, finish the seam, not reaching 6 mm from the corner. At the corners, sew the fabric at an exact 45° angle. Cut off excess allowances, iron the remaining allowances on the border. 
QUILTING
Patchwork quilted products consist of three layers: upper and lower (from patches, or, alternatively, the upper one is made of patches, the lower one is made of plain fabric) and the inner layer (volumetric, which gives the product a special relief when quilting). Before connecting all three layers, carefully iron the top and bottom sides. Lay the bottom side face down and secure to the surface with masking tape. Lay the inner part and the upper side (right side up) on the bottom, evenly smooth and fix from the center to the periphery at intervals of 20 cm with safety pins. If you are going to quilt the product by hand, then sweep all three layers along and across with seam intervals of 15 cm, removing the pins one by one. Only after that, with a thin pencil, draw quilting lines on the upper side of the product. 
STITCHING WITH A SEWING MACHINE
Make sure that the top and bottom sides do not slide against each other. To do this, insert the special, raised foot of the machine. Always sew from the center to the periphery, otherwise waves will appear on the product. So that the seam on the product is almost imperceptible, but a beautiful structure appears, scribble exactly into the seam when sewing patches. At the end and beginning of the seam, make bartacks: lift the bobbin thread up and sew a few stitches of the smallest size. Optimal length bartacks - 7 mm. After you complete the bartack, trim the ends of the threads. Tip: during quilting, roll the free part of the product into a roll - this will make it more convenient for you to work. 
MANUAL QUILTING
With this method of work, the product is stretched into a frame (like an embroidery hoop). Perfect option- handmade frame that can be leaned against the table, as a result you will have free hands. When hand quilting, also sew from the center to the periphery. With a small needle with a thread 50 cm long, at some distance from the starting point, make stitches through all three layers of the product. Sew a few even small stitches in one step, then carefully pull the thread. Tip: It will be easier to work if you are on middle finger working hand put on a thimble, and forefinger with the other hand, which supports the product from below, put on the leather cap. 
First, cut the edging fabric into strips across the grain thread. The width of the edging is approximately 7 cm. The total length of the stitched strips is equal to the perimeter of the product + 15 cm for diagonal corners + lapels at the ends. Sew the strips at a 45° angle into one long strip. Iron the strip by folding it in half, wrong side inward. Now lay out the strip in one layer. Along the top side of the product, trim the cuts of the inside and bottom side. Iron one end inward so that a triangle appears. Starting from this ironed end, pin the strip to the upper side of the product along the entire length of one side with an interval of 10 cm. The edges of the edging lie on the sections of the product. Sew at a distance of 7 mm from the edge of the edging, grabbing all layers of the product. 
EDging: STEP BY STEP
Before reaching 7 mm to the corner of the product, interrupt the seam, perform a bartack. Turn the edging strip at an angle of 45° outward, then turn the strip down so that the fold is exactly at the level of the already sewn edge of the edging. Now sew at a distance of 7 mm from the edge of the piping on the next side of the product, grabbing all three layers. Treat other corners in the same way. When you wrap all sides of the product in this way, i.e. get to the beginning of the edging, cut off the excess edging allowances, tuck the end and finish the seam. Finally, fold the edging to the underside of the product, secure with clips and sew by hand with blind stitches.

Technique for creating bedspreads from flaps
For starters, you can try to sew DIY patchwork blanket from squares. Then you can not think about the scheme and it will be easier to sew the bedspread.
From the scraps you need to cut out many identical squares - use a pencil and a ruler so as not to be mistaken in size.
If you have a sewing machine, the process will go much faster. Sew the squares in rows, and then stitch the rows themselves. When the canvas is ready, it must be ironed on the inside to straighten the seams.
Patchwork bedspread pattern Then you need to measure the product in order to cut the appropriate fabric from the fleece. Now lay the cover over the fleece with the right side facing up.
