Stitch up a super cute blanket for your furry friend, so they can sleep in comfort.

Requirements List:

• 2 x Cotton cut to 63cm x 35cm
• 1 x Batting cut to 63 x 35cm
• Co-ordinating threads for topstitching
• Co-ordinating thread for construction
• 12mm bias tape
• Sewing machine
• Quilt basting spray

• Pins or clips (whichever is your preference)

Cutting:

Cut out the following:

• 2 x Cotton cut to 63cm x 35cm
• 1 x Batting cut to 63 x 35cm

Construction:

1. Spray the batting with the quilting spray and stick the wrong side of the cotton fabric onto both sides of the batting. If you have a directional fabric, take care when placing it to make sure the patterns are in the correct direction.

2. Using your washable fabric marking pen, draw your quilting design onto the right/top side of your fabrics. We chose a diamond shape created with 45-degree angled lines with 5cm spacing.

3. Change to your walking foot. Using your chosen top-stitching thread, with the same colour in the bobbin, and the stitch length set to 3.0 stitch over the lines you have drawn.
4. Trim the edges of your fabric to make the quilted mat even and square.

5. Using your bias tape, attach bias binding, mitering corners as you go.

Congratulations on finishing your Quilted Pet Blanket, now your pet can be nice and cozy.
