This trio of flannel blankets was inspired by Hannah's, and informed by some directions in Last-Minute Patchwork Gifts. I bought a Clover tapemaker which I found useful after some experimentation. My tips for this tool: stitch the tape in two steps, first by seaming it open, then by seaming it shut. In between these steps, trim your first seam to reduce the tape's bulk! I could not get good results by just wedging the blanket edge into the folded tape, personally.
