These final stitches are not just decorative. Quilting holds the batting in place so it does not shift, bunch, or become lumpy over time.
Measure your blanket to decide on spacing. Mine measured about 40 inches square, so I chose quilting lines every 5 inches.
Mark Your Lines
Lay the blanket flat.
Use a quilting ruler to draw straight lines with a water-soluble fabric marker.
Pin across the blanket to prevent shifting.
Sew Straight Rows
Sew straight stitches directly over the marked lines. Take your time and go slow.
Once all rows are sewn in one direction, rotate the blanket 90 degrees and repeat the process. This creates a grid pattern and evenly quilted squares.
The intersecting stitches create the classic quilted look while securing the quilt sandwich.
When finished, your blanket is fully quilted and complete.
If you can sew straight-ish lines, you can do this.
This is one of those projects that looks impressive but is completely doable. And when that sweet baby is wrapped up in something you made with your own two hands, every stitch feels worth it.
If you make one, you might just find yourself planning the next baby blanket before the first one is even gifted.
