- Cut one piece of fabric for the center.
- Cut squares large enough to go evenly all the way around the center.
- Measure and cut the border squares so they're even, or for a more modern look, vary the sizes by cutting rectangles in different lengths.
- With right sides facing, stitch all pieces together. Cut a 3-inch-wide length of fabric long enough to go all the way around the pieced top.
- Fold it in half and stitch it to the edge, using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
- Cut backing fabric the same size as the throw front. With right sides facing, stitch the back to the front, leaving an opening for turning.
- Turn the throw right side out. Press and hand-stitch the opening closed.

I began making flannel quilts out of the kids old pjs. Now I think I will use their old patterned sheets to make them each a summer quilt like this.
11/29/2011 12:16:30 PM Report AbuseMake it any size you want! After deciding size, it'd be easy to figure out the rest-4th grade math! It's a throw not a quilt, you don't really need more directions. If you want something warmer use flannel or fleece for backing or as a middle layer. Add tacking stitches or topstitch around edges to eliminate that tendency to roll, just like using facing. You could even add buttons, stitching through all layers, to add interest and keep layers from shifting. C'mon, be creative!!!

11/4/2011 01:57:43 PM Report AbuseWhy no measurements for the fabric or for the individual squares?
10/27/2011 01:07:44 PM Report AbuseThis has to be the worse set of directions that was ever published. I do sew and wouldn't even know how much fabric to purchase, long yet what sizes the squares should be cut. PLEASE don't waste our time with this sort of instruction sheet.
