I
had to finish some CQ seams last week so I took my old samplers out,looked for some interesting stitch combination and this
stitch caught my attention right away.
Battlemented
blanket stitch is stitched with four or more colours/shades of thread.
Step
1 – Thread the needle with first colour and make a row of blanket
stitches as shown.
Step
2 – Make another row of blanket stitches slightly below the first
one with second colour thread.
Step
3 – Make another row of blanket stitches slightly below the second
one with third colour thread.
Step
4 – Make another row of blanket stitches slightly below the third
one with fourth colour thread.
A pretty simple yet beautiful stitch,isn't it?
Happy
stitching!

Layering the stitch wit different colors makes a huge difference!
Beautiful stitches!
Very effective with the different layers and colours. Thanks.
Very effective, indeed! And nicely done!
As often as I've done the blanket stitch I've never tried this. Thanks for posting and I'm going to try this :)
Yes, interestingly complex appearance but simple to do . . . now, what should I use it on . . . .
