Supplies Needed • 1 pkg. Land of Whimzie® Sweet Chic or Monkey in the Middle Flannel Jelly (three each of six prints - 2 ½" x 42") • 1 ½ yd White Flannel • Coordinating thread • Rotary cutter, mat, and acrylic ruler • Basic sewing supplies • Sewing machine • Iron, pressing surface • Walking/even feed foot (optional) • Spring-loaded scissors (optional)
Instructions Read all instructions before beginning project. Do not prewash fabrics. Before cutting, press fabrics with a dry iron on cotton setting. Use a ¼" seam allowance.
1. Sub-cut one strip of each of the six Jelly prints into 2 - 2 ½" x 21" strips.
2. Cut the White Flannel into 12 - 2 ½" x 42" strips and 12 - 2 ½" x 21" strips.
3. Place the following strips wrong sides together to create sets: Two 2 ½" x 42" White strips Two 2 ½" x 42" Jelly print strips (matching) Two 2 ½" x 21" White strips Two 2 ½" x 21" Jelly print strips (matching)
4. Pin the White strip sets to the Jelly print sets of the same length and sew together through all four layers. Press the seam open. Note: You should now have one strip set 4 ½" x 42" and one strip set 4 ½" x 21" (Dia. A). Trim strip set width to 4 ½" if necessary. Care instructions: Machine wash in cold water. Tumble dry, regular setting.

5. Square up one end of each strip set and cut:
Eight 4 ½" squares from the 42" strips Four 4 ½" squares from the 21" strips (For a total of twelve 4 ½" squares, Dia. B).
6. Repeat Steps 3 - 5 with remaining strips to make a total of 72 squares.

Project Instructions Continued 8. Pin the rows, with the backs together, matching the seams with the seam allowances open; sew and press seams open (Dia. D).
9. Trim the outside edges straight and topstitch ¼" around the outside edge (Dia. E).
10. Clip all seams up to the stitching line approximately every ½" including the outside edge. Clip through both layers at the same time, being careful not to clip into the seam. Tip: Any sharp scissors will work, but spring-loaded scissors reduce hand fatigue.
11. To fray the edges and make the blanket soft and cuddly, machine wash (alone) with a mild soap in cold water, regular cycle; machine dry. Tip: Put a filter on the washer drain to help catch loose threads and clean your dryer lint filter after use.
