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.

@ShabbyFabrics 7 лет назад

What a special gift to give hospitals for new babies! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your stories :)

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.

@karenjames5063 6 лет назад

Jennifer... you made this so easy to follow. I did this once with the soft fabric called minky I think it was called and it was so slippery and one corner came out horrible. You made the metered corner easy to understand too. I am going to try this again thanks to you. Also, our quilting group is accepting the receiving blankets now.

I know that there is an easier method to making these now but I don’t have a square ruler with a 45 degree angle so I made it this way and honestly, it not hard at all just a few extra steps. I love these quilts and we have a new baby grand daughter that was born on the 2nd of this month.

Love this pattern. I have made two so far and have fabric for two more! My only suggestion: I pin closer together when using flannel. Some flannel is pretty stretchy.

@ShabbyFabrics 4 года назад

@ld4310 2 года назад

Love sewing these baby blankets. I have one issue… My seam wants to go toward the inner fabric, in fact at the corners it will not go toward the outside under the border. When I stitch the miter corners, I stitch from the edge of the seamed fabric to the folded edge. Should I not start at the fabric’s edge? Should I start where the stitches end instead of going to the edge of the fabric. Appreciate Any suggestions.

@ShabbyFabrics 2 года назад

Thank you for the question. Can I ask why type of fabric you are sewing with? Quilting cotton or flannel will behave differently than a fabric like Minky or fleece. -Bethany

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

You're absolutely correct. We don't pre-wash before sewing, but it's a good idea to wash the blankets before giving them to a little one! :) Thank you so much for watching, you are so appreciated!

@shadowland111 4 года назад

After turning my mitered corners, I found the seams would only face down. There wasn't enough inside material to allow the corners to fold up. I am stumped as to what went wrong. My border was only 2" larger all around before sewing. Thank You for any way you can help.. Debbie

@ShabbyFabrics 4 года назад

Hi Debbie! When the corners are cut the opposite direction of the way they are supposed to be cut they won't lay out correctly. That sounds like what happened here. Let me know if you have any other questions! ~Leah

@marshabrashears 3 года назад

I want to use a batting with my blanket. How do I lay that out?

@ShabbyFabrics 3 года назад

Hi Marsha! You would cut the batting to the same size as the backing, and place it under the backing, then proceed with the project. The only thing to note is the batting would be doubled in the "binding" area, and the seams / corners would be extra bulky. We'd love to see your finished project! Thank you for watching! - Sophie

@rahimahsurattee752 Год назад

Whats the difference between reciving blankets n normal blankets

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

Hi Rahimah Surattee - "Receiving blanket" is more of a term used to described a smaller size blanket typically used for swaddling newborn babies. Hope this helps! -Michelle

Frixion pen will reappear in COLD .. like shipping in baggage compartment of airplane.

@deeralemap 7 лет назад

if you are sending it off to ... oh say, a show, no one is going to do that for you ... just be careful what you mark with them .. they don't always disappear so easily

@deeralemap 7 лет назад

@ShabbyFabrics 7 лет назад

They also fully disappear when washed! But yes, there is a chance of them appearing with cold which is why we try to hide our marks in seam allowances or underneath stitching :)

If the marks from the pen reappear while you're travelling because the item was placed in the cargo hold of a plane, just use your hair dryer (or the one usually furnished at the hotel) and the line will magically disappear.

Hi, my question didn't get answered. On the video, I could see that the cute printed material is top side up...but I couldn't tell if the bottom polka dot fabric was top side up or bottom side up. When I made my blanket it didn't come out right. I didn't hear Jen tell us whether to sew right sides together or not.

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

Hi Carol. The polka dot fabric is right side up when she's pinning the two pieces together (with the cute printed material facing down, toward the top of the polka dot fabric). - Morgan

There are many organizations and quilting guilds with programs for charity quilts for babies. What a nice donation to an abused women's center where women frequently come with babies. Also hospital NICU units are in need of smaller blankets (you could scale this one down).

@momgrandma5496 7 лет назад

Gloria Wojo I'll have to look into that Gloria, thanks. I've been wanting to start a larger quilt but my energy level is not what it used to be. These tiny blankets are the perfect size and quick to put together.

@gloriawojo7414 7 лет назад

Mom, Grandma--I know exactly how you feel about the energy level since I'm a mom, grandma, and great-grandma. I've just started sewing again after 40+ years. I'm enjoying it, but I am sooooo SLOW; but I'm getting it done. Good luck and keep on sewing. The Clover hand needle threader is one of my best friends. ; o )

@suebean3873 4 года назад

Absolutely beautiful! I’ve made dozens of these, but I always love others’ baby fabrics better than mine. So darn cute. You can tell you got some real good flannel there, you can just tell it’s good quality. What new mom wouldn’t want to wrap her precious baby in it! Thank you!

@ShabbyFabrics 4 года назад

These are such fun gifts to make for any new mom! And so many fabrics to choose from. We definitely like to use high-quality flannel, it's just so cozy and warm. I'm sure every blanket you've made has been lovely.

@gloriawojo7414 7 лет назад

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.

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.

Great video. Love all your videos. A trick i learned by accident was before you turn it if you iron the seam the way you want it to go, it lays perfectly when you sew around the blanket and the binding. Lays right down@ShabbyFabrics

@Ronibearable 7 лет назад

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.

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.

@Yayablev 6 лет назад

Thanks, I had the same question.

@donnau3735 6 лет назад

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.......

Hi Jen! I was wondering if you could do a video regarding the best way to cut such large squares (40") for those of us who dont have massive cutting tables or rulers. Loving your videos and thank you!!

@ramonitarodriguez625 4 года назад

Does the difference between the two fabrics always have to be ten inches?

@ShabbyFabrics 4 года назад

It could be bigger if you'd like a different look, and you can experiment with making it smaller, too, to see if you like that style. This is just a good starting point. - Morgan

Beautiful and GREAT tutorial! What are the finished dimensions of this receiving blanket?

@ShabbyFabrics 2 года назад

Thank you, Lisa! We are glad you enjoy this fun project. The finished blanket will depend on your seam allowance and cuts, but it should finish to approximately 34"x34". Hope that makes sense! 😍 -Michelle

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

@michelenally9872 2 года назад

She says 30 inches for one fabric and 40 inches for the other fabric on the self binding blanket. Does that mean a 30 inch square and a 40 inch square?

@ShabbyFabrics 2 года назад

Yes, that is correct. The larger size is the backing fabric. For easier reference, you can find these sizes listed on the Free Download: www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video/138/how-to-make-a-self-binding-receiving-blanket Hope that makes sense! 💖-Michelle

@bonnylass3632 2 года назад

i was wondering the same thing. what are the other dimensions? 30 x ? & 40 x ?

@dannabittner5567 5 лет назад

Can I download the pattern only? I would love the exact instructions printed out. I finally got to the download for the receiving blanket, but the download only gave me a list of required materials. Please advise, I would love to get started on a blanket.

Unfortunately, we do not have the pattern available, as this project is a video project. If you have any questions please let me know as I am always happy to help! -Kyla

@sandraallen2900 4 года назад

Love this tutorial! It’s very informative and detailed with the step by step process. I do have a question though, I want to make something like this for my son to fit on top of a twin size bed. How would I measure the right amount so it is a rectangle rather than a square?

@ShabbyFabrics 4 года назад

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 года назад

How do I make a rectangle blanker?

@ellenreneereich4727 3 года назад

Thank you! Do I add 10 inches to the length? Like you do at the width?😍

@sandraallen2900 3 года назад

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.

@susanrandazzo8763 6 лет назад

I am a long time "old dog" seamstress who is always excited to learn new tricks. Your video was so nicely done. Your instructions were clear and you showed each step so clearly. I have lots of flannel that I can't wait to try on this project. I also appreciated the fact that you named the tools you used for this project. Thank you!

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We love how no matter how long you've been quilting, there is always more to learn!

@vickycoon3196 4 года назад

Thank you!! such an easy follow and my blanket was perfect! Would you change anything if I were to use a mink type for the back?

@ShabbyFabrics 4 года назад

There should not be too many issues with using the Minky. We have had some comments on the corners not laying flat when using Minky as there would be 2 different fabrics and Minky does move more while Cotton tends to stay in place. ~Leah

@pamcadd8658 5 лет назад

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.

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

We LOVE making these for new mothers and the bundle of blankets is absolutely perfect. Thank you for sharing your tips and experiences with us! It's so wonderful to be in a community of makers who are willing to help each other and learn from one another. :) Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

Can you use minki fabric for the backing on this project? Thanks for the videos they are sooo helpful!

@ShabbyFabrics 7 лет назад

There is no reason Minky wouldn't work for this project :)

@Anne7758 4 года назад

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 4 года назад

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

@rklaforce73 6 лет назад

😳 that. was. AMAZING!! The whole time you were doing the inside I was thinking how will this ever work?! And then like a magic trick you turned it right side out and POOF!! You pull perfect corners out of your hat!

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Right?! This technique is amazing! Thanks for watching :)

@mariemullan8682 4 года назад

Never made quilt just learning like your vido i will give it a go

@sandrawhite2561 7 лет назад

Thanks for the great video explaining how to do the self binding receiving blanket in such detail. I had a disappointing experience making one of these in the past because of the direction of the fabric. The selvage edges of each piece should match. But once the selvages are cut off it is harder to make sure the fabric is going in the same direction. [This is important because of the "give" of the fabric." ] A thought occurred to me that two different colored clips could be used when finding the middle point of each side. Example, top and bottom middle point could be one color and a different color could be used for the middle point on the fabric sides. [I hope i didn't make this as clear as mud but want to warn folks ahead of time. I had to rip mine out and resew it, because it ended up cattywampus.]

@sheridrake172 5 лет назад

Would this still work if you put a layer of batting in the middle? If so, would you cut the batting to 30" to match the top or 40" to match the backing?

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

That's a great question. It should work, but we haven't tried it ourselves. We're thinking it would be a good idea to cut it to the size of the backing. You may want to do additional quilting to keep it in place. Let us know if you do try it and how it goes. - Morgan

@mooster47 6 лет назад

The technique for making these is great and very nicely explained. However, I have never seen cotton fabric, especially flannel, that did not shrink. The shrinkage will be more in one direction than the other, and an item like this will distort every which way. I would always pre-wash just to be sure.

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It certainly doesn't hurt to prewash, of course. We haven't had any problems with shrinking, but if you want to guarantee that it doesn't shrink, prewashing is the best option. Hope you enjoy our other videos! :) - Morgan

@samantharix6009 7 лет назад
