You can sew an heirloom festive baby blanket with Corinne Bradd's easy pattern.

This delightful baby throw, designed by Corinne Bradd, features two simple yet colourful patchwork blocks. In the first part, you'll learn how to sew a Christmas tree and in the second part, you'll learn how to sew a patchwork star, with a bonus option to embroider a personal message. Both quilt block designs make use of half square triangles (HSTs). The quick and easy baby blanket project will also teach you the following skills: how to topstitch, how to stitch in the ditch, how to sandwich a quilt and how to bind raw edges.
