Patchwork blanket

I had a lot of small pieces of Japanese cotton fabrics and Japanese-like cotton fabrics in my stash. I wasn't too sure what to make out of them. At that time towards the end of the COVID time, the demand for the face masks had dwindled because more and more disposable masks were available at stores. Rather than just keeping them in the fabric stash, I decided to make them into a small blanket by piecing them together. 

 This is a perfect size to use on my lap when it's a little chilly while sitting on a couch. 

Some fabrics were actually from Japan and are called kasuri, and others are Japan-like prints. But I think they went well together.
