Adding another baby blanket to my long list of baby projects! Sewing for babies never gets old. I love giving baby blankets as gifts because they are quick and easy, but also so useful! Whenever I have a baby, there are never enough blankets and it’s nice to have fresh ones even if it isn’t the first baby. These are a really simple project, that can be super cute! Each blanket takes just 2 yards of fabric, one for the front and one for the back. So you can pick two really cute cotton prints and put them together!
I made two gender neutral blankets and one girly one. All of these prints are from Fat Quarter Shop, which is one of my favorite online fabric shops.
Here are my pairings:
Use a strip of extra fabric to tie up the blanket!

Love this! I’ve got a Craft Gossip post scheduled for later this morning that links to your tutorial: http://sewing.craftgossip.com/?p=82709 –Anne
where do you purchase your little lables sewn to the outside of your blankets? I would love to purchase some for my childs’ dresses.
thank you,

These look great. What a fun, quick way to make a quilt for a gift. I’m not a quilter, but once in a while I can be prevailed upon to make a tied quilt just like this. You do a great job of quick quilting Kate!
these are totally adorable!!! I just made some receiving blankets out of flannel but never thought about it like a small quilt. Love the hand tied knots so cute.
I love these! i’m trying to narrow down fabric choices now to make a few blankets!
These are Beautiful Kate, such a lovely idea, thanks for sharing.

These are beautiful! This may be a stupid question, but could I add an extra layer in between the two cotton layers (say, of batting) to make it a little thicker? Thank you for your help!
