Burda Style For people who sew

Description

This is my original design – the busy blankie. It’s a patchwork baby quilt AND play mat in one. It’s cozy like a quilt while also giving dimpled fingers and chubby toes lots to explore and enjoy. Its generous size (32” square) means baby won’t outgrow it anytime soon.

Baby can explore thirteen different ribbons, bows, tabs, and pockets; trace lines of hand quilting; or simply cuddle on the three different textures (cotton, sweater material, & linen). The high-contrast colors (black, white, & yellow) & simple block design give it a vintage look.

I included ties for easy folding & portability. This blankie is perfect for the floor, crib, stroller, or carseat. It could easily grow with baby, becoming a toddler’s favorite cuddly naptime blankie.

I design and construct each of my Busy Blankies without a pattern and, when possible, using recycled fabrics – making each one truly unique. This blankie was made from a recycled dress shirt, a recycled duvet cover, & new fabrics. I use 100% cotton batting for extra comfort. Machine-pieced and hand-quilted.

Machine wash & tumble dry.
