Women did then as they do now -- they got creative and sewed together the fabrics they had, including scraps. New quilt styles emerged that we recognize today and hold dear in our homes, or see exhibited in a gallery as art.
For making perfectly straight cuts, choose a thick, clear acrylic ruler. A good size to start with is a 6x24" rectangular ruler marked in 1/4" increments.

Making a handmade blanket is not that difficult. There are a lot of cut-and-tie methods to create a fleece throw. First, select a fabric, and then cut it into the size you desire.
