  • These blankets make great baby shower gifts, and are super easy to make! The back wraps around the front fabric to make a border, which is easier to do than you think. You can use any kind of fabric you want, but I’m partial to flannel and minky. If you’re looking for a fast, easy, beginner sewing project - this is it!
    //TIPS FOR SUCCESS
    - Sometimes the extra fabric in the corners can poke out, especially after you wash it. To prevent this, make your border two inches or less. You can also sew a straight line down the open edge of the corner with a matching thread to close it up.
    - If you use a slippery/stretchy fabric (like minky or jersey knit), use LOTS of clips/pins to help prevent the fabric from moving.

    //CUTS:
    31”x31” square for top (x1) - make slightly bigger for a lap blanket
    35”x35” for back & border (x1) - Makes a 2” border
    HOW BIG TO CUT THE BACK: Take the number of inches you want your border to be, multiply by 2, then add that number to how big you cut the front.
    EXAMPLE: If you want a 3” border and you cut the front to 31” by 31,” then you need to cut the back fabric to 37”x37.”

    I am newly retired and new to sewing. I'm expecting my first granddaughter from one of my twin boys. I love this and have a lot of flannel fabric on hand (forget why I bought it all) and assuming that this cute blanket can be made with any fabric? TIA!!

    Thanks for the tutorial. Can some fabric be trimmed down to make the miter corner flatter?

    I have similar fabric and I noticed your design is not running up and down. My fabric is cut the same so I guess it will be ok, though I prefer the design fabric to be running up and down length wise,

  • @dianeberron6470

    A little confused on your measurements, you said for a 2in border add 4”, giving 2 inches all the way around. When you fold the fabric in, then over you end up with a 1” border. Wouldn’t I need to add 8 inches so that I have 4 inches to fold in half for a two inch border?

      A coworker pointed out that instead of saying “you’re welcome” I always say “you got it”. Now that I’m aware of it…it’s kind of funny
