Nani Iro’s Quilted Double Gauze has a lot going for it: the prints are stunning, the colors are luminous, the fabric is super soft… and it’s pre-quilted! This all adds up to what is basically a gorgeous ready-made quilt. Just add binding and you’re good to go!

    • For Beautiful Corolla, Bugen Pink
    • Pocho, Ecru/Gold
    • Bird’s Eye, Moe Gray/Yellow

NOTE: You can always pre-quilt some fabric yourself, or use a single layer of a two-sided fabric. That’s what we did for our Pure + Simple Wool Blankets!

  • 6 yards of bias tape. We used, from left to right…
    • Purl Soho’s Bias Tape By The Yard in Natural
    • Purl Soho’s Neon Bias Tape in Pink
    • Purl Soho’s Bias Tape By The Yard in Silver
  • One small spool of thread. We used, from left to right…

Size

Finished Dimensions: 40 X 50 inches

Pattern

Cut

NOTE: If you’re new to rotary cutting, please check out our Rotary Cutting Tutorial before you start.

Use a rotary cutter to cut the fabric into a 40 x 50-inch rectangle.

Trim the Corners

Pure + Simple Quilted Blankets | Purl Soho

Lay one corner of the fabric out flat. Place the Template on top of the fabric as close to the corner as you can while keeping the straight edges of the Template flush with the cut sides of the fabric. Cut the fabric around the curve of the Template.

Repeat with the remaining 3 corners.

Attach the Bias Tape

Bind the Blanket’s edges with the bias tape.

For detailed instructions on how to bind a blanket with bias tape binding, please refer to our Sewing on Single Fold Binding Tutorial. Keep in mind that because this Blanket does not have right corners, you will not need to miter the corners. Instead, simply follow the curve of the corner with the binding, making sure not to stretch the bias tape as you sew.

You’re all done!
