Hip, Not Square Flannel Throw

Soft and snuggly, this hip, raggy quilt is fun and fast to make. 

Designed by Karen Combs for Blank Textiles using Kiryu Flannel. 

Quilt size: 44” x 56” (before washing)

Materials

Kiryu Flannel:

  2 yards  blue (KU-100, C#106)

              2 yards  green (KU-300, C#104)

Backing: 2½  yards  blue (KU-300, C#106)

Cutting instructions

 Cut: (32) 7” blue squares                                                                                                       

        (31) 7” green squares

        (32) 4 ½” blue squares

        (31) 4 ½” green squares

Directions

1.  Pin 4 ½” blue squares on 7” green squares and 4 ½” green squares on 7” blue squares. Don’t worry     

     about perfectly centering the squares, they can be slightly skewed.

2.  Using a straight stitch and sewing ½” in from the raw edge, sew the smaller squares onto the larger 

     squares. 

3.  Sew the squares into rows, alternating the colors and pressing the seams open.

4.  Now it’s time to rag the smaller squares:  using sharp scissors make tiny clips ¼” apart and ¼” 

     around the edge of the smaller squares.

5.  Layer quilt with the backing fabric and baste.  Stitch around the edge of the quilt, ½” from the edge 

     using a tight straight stitch.  Rag the edges, making tiny clips ¼” apart and ¼” deep.  Lastly, give the   

     quilt a good shake.  Doing this outside will keep your carpets clean! 

Making the quilt rag

A trip to the Laundromat is a good idea for the initial wash and dry, since this wash produces lint.  After this first wash and dry, you can use your own washer and dryer. Using liquid softener makes the quilt extra soft and snuggly.  When you take it out of the dryer, the smaller squares and the edges should be raggy and soft.
