How to Make a Quick & Simple Receiving Blanket DIY Tutorial | Fat Quarter Shop

I had to do a double take because Emma is looking just like you with darker hair! Congratulations on her graduating high school and going to college!💜

I'm happy with the one I made and will start a second one. Very fun to make and cute. The piecing and rounded corners make it more interesting than just flapping two pieces of flannel together. Thank you.

One question, why not just cut the backing fabric to the same size as the assembled front fabric to begin with instead of cutting it larger just to trim it later? Takes off an entire extra step and saves fabric…

Can you do this with flannel,would the seam allowance be different?

What is the seam allowance

I like to make these with cute child-themed flannel fabrics. For one blanket I used a blue and yellow rubber ducky theme, and for another, I used zoo animal fabrics.

This may be a Silly question, but when you stich in the ditch, does the stitch show on 5h back.and what size stitch would I use,for the ditch

I use a dinner plate to trace a rounded corner on my receiving blankets and baby quilts.

Wish you sold that fabric

Love! Making mine with baby flannel, so you recommend washing your fabric before sewing? And will that make it look worn?

Awwww. So sweet.

Where so you get that corner template??

❤

Do you wash your flannel first?

She doesn’t say what seam allowance to sew this

Why no batting?

As a receiving blanket, would you recommend flannel fabric?

I’m new to learning to quilt baby blankets. Can you explain why one fabric is larger and then cut the extra off?

What kind of fabric does the backing have to be?

What kind of fabric are you using ?

Hello. Is it possible to add some wadding to this blanket? Thank you!

for me they look like pillow cases

Could I add batting inside ?

A nice pattern fabric

It help’s if you do blankets for both genders!!!!

This would have cute with a self-mitered corners

Hi Kimberly, I simply love all your tutorials. Can you show us how to make the beautiful blue and red quilt hanging behind you.Its so amazing. i have some blocks made and i would like to learn how to make this gorgeous quilt. I am definitely going to try making your receiving blanket.Thanks.

What is the fabric?

Nice. Flannel?
If I press the 1/4 inch seam in the hole before turning, cleaner fold.

Omg I tried this and it was simple. In love with this

A bit hard for a beginner... What's a nesting seam?

So what is a receiving blanket?

Beautiful blanket but as a total beginner I don't understand anything here. Too bad, gonna look for another tutorial.

I just mailed off the blanket I made. Thank you for this tutorial. My first blanket! I'm happy with how it came out!

Just finished one! Really cute & when baby out grows it it can be saved for use as a doll blanket! Love it - thanks for the clear directions.

I made this with three prints for a baby girl and it turned out sew cute :) thank you!

Thanks. Great tutor. Now i know how i can use fat quarts. Great rounding corner idea. STITCH IN THE DITCH. never gets old! 😁🧵✂️🥇

What fabric type do you use for the back?

another great video but I would have liked to have seen a few seconds of "stitch the ditch" as that isn't something I have experience with. :-(

I have that exact iron. I simply love it! Actually, it has been the best I have had in 43 years.

Hi Kimberly, if I wanted to add the batting to make it more like a quilt would the batting
shift when it’s washed?

Beautiful craft now you have a new subscriber

I know I'm late to the party and it's a sideways question, but I'm in the UK and it's not a term we use so I just looked up to see what a 'receiving' blanket is. The consensus of opinion is that it's either just a light weight cellular blanket so baby doesn't overheat, in which case most people thought it should just be called a blanket, OR it is muslin squares used for burbing cloths and other slightly messy receiving purposes.
So in light of my research, why is this pretty quilted piece called a receiving blanket?

Very nice love it

What size rotary cutter do you use?

Hi Kimberly, :) I just completed the baby blanket made from this tutorial. I made changes because I wanted mine to be wider and longer so I did 8" squares in 5 baby prints, all flannel with an adorable animal ark flannel backside. I quilted some fancy stitches about 5 inches apart to it for a good hold and finished it off with a decorative edging stitch. it really came out so so adorable and perfect for a little boy I'm giving it too! Thank you for sharing! :)

Where can I get the cutting mat you are using g pleaze
