This week was all about planning for a streamlined blanket-making process. As mentioned in my last post, I fell into some new fabric opportunities that I couldn't say no to when I popped into Joann's. Here's the way I've been planning blankets in the past:
The end product comes out something like this: So it turns out well, but with quite a bit of waste. My process definitely needed some revamping.
For contrast, here's the new process I've come up with this week.
Now actually making these cuts is going to have to wait for next week. But in the meantime, let me entice you with some pictures of my fabric choices. I've got five different sets of coordinated material and will be making three blankets with each set (so long as I don't screw anything up too badly.)

I like that you figured out how to use more fabric and waste less! Your learning for this week looks like it took some math!

Awesome! I think those pairings go great together. You definitely have a creative eye. I don't think that I would be able to match anything together in a way that looks good.

Coordinating the fabrics definitely does not come quickly or naturally for me. I probably spent close to two hours agonizing over the decisions for the purchases shown here. Fortunately, the ladies at Joann's are pretty open to sharing their opinions when it comes to breaking a tie between two potential choices.
