Flannel Blankets in Record Time

Hi there! I am on a craftastic voyage and I wanted to try making some swaddling blankets and I found this really cool tutorial that walks you through a self binding flannel blanket. I finished this one in a few nights and I took several breaks.

I started with my front and back. 

 

I spy elephants! 

Next I lined up my layers.

 

Lining up my layers. 

Then I did my stitching on the wrong side. 

 

Leave open a 5-6" length. 

Finally ready to turn it inside out. 

 

Here's the blanket turned right side out. 

Finally, after some top stitching, this flannel blanket is done!

Nothing left but a wash and press. 

Try this out if you need a quick baby shower gift or some more blankets around the house, or to donate. Happy crafting!
