How to choose a baby blanket and how to sew it in patchwork technique?
Table of contents:
The birth of a child is an important event that requires serious preparation. With the appearance of a baby in the house, you need to create an appropriate atmosphere of warmth and comfort so that the little man is comfortable.
Preparing for the appearance of a child, parents are redeveloping the apartment, allocating space for a nursery – a small kingdom of a son or daughter. At the same time, absolutely everything is taken into account, even such seemingly insignificant details as the shade of curtains and wallpaper, a wall clock or a bedspread, a baby blanket and a pillow, and much more.
First you need to think over the color scheme of the room. A room for a girl can be decorated in light pink, beige, lemon yellow, pale green or orange colors. A combination of 2-3 different colors is allowed, provided that the right shades are perfectly combined with each other.
An important element is the baby bedspread that decorates the baby's crib. An indispensable attribute of the nursery – a canopy, bed linen and soft bedside bumpers – are sold separately and in a set. The child's bedspread should be combined with the selected set of underwear in color and meet quality standards.
The best fabric composition includes 15% synthetic and 85% natural fabric. Natural material, pleasant to the touch, has hypoallergenic properties, which is especially valuable for the baby, and a small percentage of synthetics will make the fabric durable and resistant to impact.
A baby blanket for a girl or a boy should not overload the fragile psyche of a child who is just beginning to explore the world. It is best to choose products with a simple pattern or simple ornament, preferably pastel colors.

If desired, a baby blanket can be made with your own hands, for example, knit or sewn from scraps of fabric. In this case, you will choose the colors, design, style, pattern of the product yourself. Sewn or tied with affectionate mother's hands, the blanket will fall in love with the baby.
Patchwork, or quilt, - stitching from scraps of fabric - is used to make napkins, rugs, blankets, tablecloths and other decorative elements. In addition, you can decorate the wall in the nursery with quilting, picking up wallpaper of different shades and pasting them with neat squares.
Patchwork has been known since ancient times, in the past centuries the popularity of this type of needlework was explained by economy and lack of fabrics. Now patchwork is a favorite type of creativity of many needlewomen and designers. 
One of the difficulties of sewing from scraps is the correct choice of fabric colors, since it is difficult to imagine in advance what the finished pattern will look like. Quilting specialists recommend using one of the programs that simulate the overall appearance of the product, based on the data entered.
The secret of the attractiveness of the finished canvas lies in the neatness of the seams and the proportionality of the pattern. To achieve these qualities, it is recommended to use special stencils for cutting out scraps, which are cardboard or plastic geometric shapes. It is better to use a sewing machine for stitching parts.
Difficulties with the choice of material are easily solvable, because in needlework goods stores there are special sets of basic tools and manuals containing detailed instructions on how to make tablecloths or baby bedspreads with your own hands, photos of each action performed and the final result.
Create a cozy atmosphere of love for your child, and let the listed tips help you in this!
