Mystery Blanket by Annelies Baes (issues 73-75)
Annelies Baes’ stunning patchwork blanket comes together this month as we show you how to attach the assorted blocks and finish them neatly. The positioning of the motifs creates a striking pattern, while the thick edging frames the geometric arrangement of shapes and colours to produce a final blanket that has a nod to a homely heirloom quilt, but with a totally contemporary feel.
This throw has a classic, stylish appeal and thanks to the quilt-like appearance, it also has a comforting familiarity meaning it is perfect to use in many different ways, from an adorable baby blanket to an up-to-date bedspread, or even a comforting throw to cosy under on the sofa.
