DIRECTIONS:
NOTE: Finish size 40"x 60"
- Pre-wash fabric. Iron flannel. Cut flannel 1 @ 35"x 55". Mark centers of each side. Mark 1/2" from each corner.
- Cut Sherpa 1 @ 41"x 61", mark centers of sides.
- Cut Sherpa 2 @ 4"x 42" and 2 @ 4"x 62", mark centers of lengths.
- Right sides together match centers of Sherpa 4" strips with corresponding sides of flannel (35" side flannel with 42" strip of Sherpa, 55" side of flannel with 62" strip of Sherpa). Pin in place.
- Sew Sherpa strips to flannel using 1/2" seam allowance starting and stopping a 1/2" from each corner. Fold flannel at a diagonal at each corner matching opposite side edges of Sherpa. Mark a diagonal line extending at 45 degree angle from seam corner to outer edge of Sherpa, an extension of the angle created by the fold in the flannel. Sew Sherpa border strips together on the angle. Trim excess to 1/2". Trim corners square.
- Match the Sherpa 41"x 61" panel with flannel/Sherpa 41"x 61" panel, right sides together. Pin leaving 9" open to turn.
- Keep corner seams open. Sew around the blanket edge using 1/2" seam allowance and leaving the 9" opening to turn. Trim corners to reduce bulk.
- Turn blanket right side out. Fold in opening to match seam. Hand stitch opening closed.

It’s a blanket!
And STILL people are having issues with another JoAnn project. No one should have to go to YouTube to figure this out. But I’m thankful someone let us know.

See YouTube Tutorial
To Lynnard in Washington, this appears to be a self-binding blanket pattern. There are several video tutorials on YouTube that will show you how this works. I've made several and found that the real secret to success is to be sure your fabric is "squared". After that it's reasonably easy and quite "cool" how it works. Good luck.

Frustrating Project
I don't understand how to sew the pieces together when one side has finished corners and the piece of sherpa isn't cornered. How do they fit without mitering the piece of sherpa? I don't know what it means to leave the corners open but sew around the entire blanket leaving an opening for turning.

Easy to make
I made this for my grandmother. I made the corners easier by sewing the shorter strips to the top and bottom of the flannel and then sewing the longer strips to the flannel/sherpa. (The long side strips had to be a bit longer for this, but you can measure it against the main piece once the top and bottom are attached.)

Flannel amount needs corrected
I read the requirements and the instructions. The amount of flannel isn't right. It should be at least 1 5/8 yard, but I'd buy 1 3/4 to allow for shrinkage during the prewash. Other than that, it looks like an easy, very cozy blanket. It's a good size for Project Linus donations. I'm looking forward to making it.
