I watched this 3 times, went to the fabric store, watched it there twice, came home and watched again, watched as i made the blanket, took a break and rewatched it again, and watched it one last time as i finished the blanket. My blanket turned out perfect* i appreciate all the details you add in when going step by step!!!

I just finished making one with some gorgeous cuddle fabric that was on clearance at Joann's. I did the same thing (watched a couple different times before and during making it) with the same result: a beautiful blanket! Love this method. I've made baby blankets a few different ways but this is by far the best.

Ive been making these for about 4yrs.I give them as gifts, sell them in my shop, but mostly I give 100 a year to local hospitals for new babies. I taught this class for our quilting guild and we ended up giving an additional 100 to hospitals in 2016.Try making these folks, very easy and it's always wonderful to wrap a sweet wee one up and snuggle. I've also used this idea to make larger throws for snuggling I the sofa. Just increase each piece by 10 inches until you get to the size that you want. Thanks for the video, Jennifer. Always a pleasure to watch.

My niece is having her first baby in August. I'm making her a quilted blanket. One side will be a darker blue cotton and the other is a soft wool/acrylic blend in a Scottish tartan. I'm going to use the cotton side to bind the blanket after I quilt it. It is bigger than a receiving blanket, but will be fully machine washable. I am so excitednto stretch my sewing skills with this project!

Thank you for this! I decided to make my blankets with a more narrow binding so I cut the front pieces 37” square and the backing pieces 40” square. The binding ended up just under an inch wide and I think it looks really neat and tidy that way! Your video was really easy to follow. Thanks again!

The one real rule here on these, is start and stop EXACTLY in that quarter inch mark at the corners.. for both sewing the top and sewing the dog ears. If you are off a stitch or two, it will pucker. Easy enough to do, and they are fun, fast and people love them.

When I need to leave an opening I use a RED flower-headed pin where I need to start sewing and a RED flower-headed pin where I need to STOP sewing. That way I train myself to NEVER sew in between the red-headed pins. I keep the red-headed pins separate on my pin cushion, making them easy to find and preventing me from accidentally placing them with my 'regular' pinning. Hope this helps. Keep these great tutorials coming. I've just started sewing again at the ripe old age of 74 after putting it aside for 40+ years while I had a business career.

We were visiting Fossil, Oregon. My daughter is expecting our second grandchild and I wanted to purchase fabric at Fossil Mercantile to include in a baby quilt that I am making. Another woman was looking at fabric and we got to talking about baby receiving blankets. She asked if I had heard of the Missouri receiving blanket; I had not. When I was back home I looked this up and, wow! I am now making them for my daughter and also our niece who is also expecting. Both babies are due in October and, I can't wait to give the girls these receiving blankets. Thank you so much. The video was straightforward, informative and not too long.

My granddaughter got one of these blankets at her baby shower. It is lovely! It has a really soft fabric for the inside and a cotton , with a large pattern , for the wrap around part. We love it and use it often while caring for our little one. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a straight pin left inside the self binding part. I had to cut a small hole over the pin to remove it. We still love the blanket. In fact, I am about to make us several more for gifts and to use ourselves. I just wanted to warn my fellow quilters to be sure to remove your pins as you come to them . A pin left inside a blanket lining can really hurt anyone who is unlucky enough to sit on it!

Been making these several years. As long as the bottom is 10 inches larger, than the top, the dimensions don't matter. I make these, and hate to cut a 40 inch square and waste the extra 3 or 4 inches of the width of fabric. So I simply figure out how big I can cut the larger piece, say 43, then cut the top 33. If you want a larger or smaller border, you can do that too. Example, if you do 40 bottom, 20 top, you get about a 4.25 border, rather than the 2.25 shown here. So, you can go up or down in difference between the top and bottom, it will make the border narrower or larger.

Hi Jen! I'm new back to sewing after 30 years of life happening...... I LOVE this tutorial! I've never seen anything like it! You are so great at explaining each step. Thank you! I want to do a sofa blanket for my young granddaughter and put batting in it. Would it work to cut the batting the same size as the back fabric so that the borders have batting in them as well? I would so appreciate your expertise in guiding me as I step back into quilting! Thanks!

I haven't read all the comments, so forgive me if I'm repeating someone else. Great tutorial, but. . . I ALWAYS run flannel through a rinse and dry cycle before cutting, because it will shrink about 2" per yard. (And shed a lot of fluffy lint in this first wash.) It will also soften and fluff up, making it feel better for mom and baby. Then when I sew the blanket, I know it won't pucker or shrink in the wash. I've made tons of these blankets - a bundle of a three or four of them is a wonderful new baby gift. Some of my little toddler recipients are still sleeping with their blanket at age two. There are an infinite number of combinations of patterns, dots, stripes and solid colors - it's fun to come up with creative new combos, and you can often match up to nursery decor.

You can in fact do rectangles the same way. I make big kid blankets in rectangles. You just make the bottom 10 inches bigger than the top. so a 60 x 20 bottom, needs a 50 x 10 top, and so on.

@donnau3735 5 жыл бұрын
I had a pre-printed baby quilt panel - the kind you buy as a panel as opposed to by the yard. I tried the measurement method as above - adding 10 inches to the bottom piece as the panel measured 32 inches wide by 42 inches long; so I cut the bottom piece 42 by 52 inches. It didn't work out. I did make another blanket a couple of weeks ago using the original 30 x 40 measurements and that came out beautifully, which is why I thought I'd try a rectangle. I'm sad.......
@dmw2037 6 жыл бұрын
Love it! Quick ? ? When you said one piece of fabric 30" and one 40", you-meant each piece square right? 30x 30 and 40x40? Sorry if I didn't hear what you said but want to be sure

You'll follow the same steps, making sure that your backing is larger than your top, and just follow the sizing for a twin size quilt. - Morgan

@ellenreneereich4727 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Do I add 10 inches to the length? Like you do at the width?😍
@sandraallen2900 3 жыл бұрын
To make it a rectangle you just cut your front fabric to the your desired length and width and then your backing fabric should be 5” larger around. So yes 10” added to your backing fabric length and width.

They stay together pretty well, but you could do some top quilting to ensure it stays in place. We've been able to just straighten ours back out after washing. - Morgan

Need to make a bunch of these in the next few weeks. Question: How could I sandwich a piece of batting between the front and back? Would I lay the batting on the smaller piece of fabric's wrong side?
@ShabbyFabrics 3 жыл бұрын
Hmmm.... I'm not sure about that as I've never tried it. We made this with a nice thick flannel so perhaps that will be thick enough that you won't need batting? If you decide to add the batting, maybe you can experiment on some inexpensive fabric at first while you're perfecting your technique. Good Luck! Let me know how it turns out :) Jen

I did make one adjustment though; I found the 1/4" seam allowance a bit small so I'm doing a 1/2" and, so far it's working great. Thanks. It's nice to learn something new and when it turns out perfect the first time that's even better.

I made 2 receiving blankets for my great-granddaughter. It was beautiful and my granddaughter absolutely loves them. The mitered corners were PERFECT. I used this same method to make table runners, placemats, and dinner napkins. They also turned great! Adding the stabilizer to the placemats and table runner was a little tricky but I figured out a work around. I really enjoy your videos - your teaching methods are the best.
