Ever wonder 'what is a receiving blanket?" A receiving blanket often gets confused with a swaddling blanket. The swaddle is usually larger in size (47 x 47 inches), while the receiving blanket is usually used for newborns and measures 30 x 30 inches.This method will work for either size! Make a baby blanket that best serves the baby you'll be giving it to.

Hi. Thanks soooo much for all your help. I had two jobs to pay the bills and now I have to work only one now to take care of myself. I have Fibromyalgia and some days are good and some days are bad. Making baby quilts are fun and its help me not think about things. So thanks for all your teaching tutorial. Thanks Valee:0))))))
Quilting is a great outlet for people. We are so happy to have you watching and quilting along with us. Take care.
+valee val I understand as I have nerve Neuropey and had to give up all the
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! :)
This would be so cute with cuddle fabric for the back! This may be my new, go-to baby gift! Thank you for sharing such clear instructions!
Awwww. So sweet.
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! 😁🧵✂️🥇
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 have that exact iron. I simply love it! Actually, it has been the best I have had in 43 years.
Thank you so much for this video! Step by step, and well explained! I am a beginner and have lots of scraps from recent baby nursery projects....this is just what I need.

omgoodness... I got super excited when I saw your tutorial on this. I wanted to make a quilt out of my sons receiving blankets for a while and to find someone doing the same thing makes it ten times better... thank you
just made my first receiving blanket tonight. thank you so much for this tutorial!
It looks very easy to do! I'm new to quilting. I sew mostly little girl clothes for my little lady. My mum still keeps my baby quilted blanket made for me and gifted to her when I was born 28 years ago! I'm going to try making this for a friend who's having a baby shower in two weeks. Thank you for the lesson. Very clear! 😍
Yes, it's a super simple tutorial. I wish you luck on your quilt. Let us
know if you have any questions along the way. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, yes, I will. I'm watching the video x 5 now! Will be buying my fabric on Sunday. I've also subscribed to your channel. I think I'm starting to love quilting.
You explain everything so clearly, can't wait to give this a try :)
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.
Im a beginner at sewing and found this quilt each to do and looks lovely.
Well done video, love the way you fast forward through the boring stuff. Nice pattern.
Very nice video! Thank you so much for taking your time to show us. You've just saved me so much time!
This is such a great tutorial. I will be making this. The only change I will make is to add an embroidered square with baby's name, dob, weight, height. Thank you also for showing the rounder corners-love this.
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.
Omg I tried this and it was simple. In love with this
Beautiful tutorial, would love to see some more simple sewing projects for babies
I'm so happy with fat quarter shop. Your the best.:@) Taking classes at fabric stores an quilting clubs should be like this. Thanks and take care.
valee val...I agree, taking classes at stores is a waste of time and money. You tube is the teacher!
So nice. And I love the fabric selection
Thank you so much 😊 I loved that, you could also put batting in to make it warmer ❓
Love all the videos, very clear instructions for those who haven't made a quilt. Also LOVE the Dr Seuss quilt!
great video. thank u. Oh lol I have the same iron, i use it when I travel.😀
That was brill thankyou i am going to make one now
I just love love LOVE your tutorials :-)
Very nice love it
Love! Making mine with baby flannel, so you recommend washing your fabric before sewing? And will that make it look worn?
I use a dinner plate to trace a rounded corner on my receiving blankets and baby quilts.
A nice pattern fabric
Love your tutorial!
love it, thanks for sharing.
thanks for sharing
Nice. Flannel?
If I press the 1/4 inch seam in the hole before turning, cleaner fold.
Can you do this with flannel,would the seam allowance be different?
I wish you had this fabric in stock. I love this blanket.
I really like this as it is simple and quick. In UK we don't seem to have the range of fleece fabrics that you do in the USA :-(
❤
I will add a layer of batting for softness and body.
That's a great idea Melissa. For this blanket we wanted it to feel like a receiving blanket so we kept the layers minimal. Enjoy this pattern!
Beautiful craft now you have a new subscriber
I'm a beginner, what is stitch in a ditch? In a seam?? All seams or one down middle and one across? Love that phrase, stitch in a ditch, lol Thinking seams but need to be sure, love the way you take your time and explain, and so cute!
When you stitch in the ditch, it means to stitch as close to the seam as possible. The seam will act as your guideline for quilting. Thanks for watching!
Fat Quarter Shop thanks so much, love this blanket, you explain so well!
It help’s if you do blankets for both genders!!!!
Hi Kimberly, if I wanted to add the batting to make it more like a quilt would the batting
shift when it’s washed?
Do you have to stitch in the ditch because I don't know if I'm comfortable doing that yet as I am a beginner. Thanks!
Thank you. Your instructions are very easy to follow and the blanket is so cute. Could this be made into a quilt by increasing the size a little?
Certainly! Just keep adding blocks until you get the size desired and add some batting and quilt away.
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
Hello Josephine! Stitching in the ditch is basically top stitching. It will show on the top and the bottom of the quilt it is just that you are sewing next to the seams so that it is less noticeable. Stitch length is what you want it to be, but since it will not show as much a regular sewing length is fine. You don’t typically want it extra small or large.
Hello. Is it possible to add some wadding to this blanket? Thank you!
Could I maybe add some stuffing or would it be too bulky
And how do you know when to pre wash fabric and when not to???
What kind of fabric does the backing have to be?
♥️♥️♥️
If I'm going to use batting in the blanket/quilt, would it still work to sew it together around the edges, or would it be best to bind it like a quilt?
You can certainly use batting, I wouldn't go too thick however. Then flip it out and top stich around it. Should work our perfectly! Enjoy.
Morning! I love this tutorial on the blanket and LOVE the material. When I tried to put the SKU's in it said not found. Can you list the names of the material? Is so adorable! BTW love the videos! They are so helpful for a "coming back to" quilter after 40 years. I did not think I was rusty..but the tips you give make it SO much easier! Love em! Keep em coming!
Hi GayeAnn - the fabric collection is called Little Ark by Riley Blake Designs, however we have since sold out of this collection. You can possibly find some similar fabric within the Riley Blake page here: www.fatquartershop.com/riley-blake-fabric Thanks for watching and we are happy to have you quilting with us!
Hi,
That's a beautiful blanket. What fabric collection did you use here? I wonder if you have it in flannel as well. I really like the fabric. Thanks for the concise and precise demo.
Hi Stelina! We used Little Ark by Riley Blake Designs. Here is the link: www.fatquartershop.com/riley-blake-fabric/little-ark-carina-gardner-riley-blake-designs/where/limit/all Unfortunately it does not come in Flannel, but here is a link to all our flannel options that might work for you: www.fatquartershop.com/flannel-fabric
As a receiving blanket, would you recommend flannel fabric?
Hello DHW! Yes you can use flannel for receiving blankets.
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…
Hello Katiria! You are welcome to do so if you'd like.
Hi I love all your tutorial. Can I make this receiving blanket the baby size quit?
Hi Valee - the great thing about this tutorial/pattern is that you can continue to add squares until you get to a quilt size that works for you. Good luck, it will look adorable regardless!
Could you use pre-cuts to make the receiving blanket?
Hi Jayne!
This project could very easily be converted to a precut friendly project. The squares for the top measure 7” so you could either use a regular charm pack that measures 5” and make a smaller quilt or add an additional row making it a little larger. Also, Riley Blake now has 7” squares! Feel free to visit our charm pack page for a variety of options!

Hope this helps, good luck!
This would have cute with a self-mitered corners
What size rotary cutter do you use?
What iron are you using?
Hi! I am new to sewing and my first project is going to be a baby clothes memory blanket. What kind of pins are you using in this video? I have 2 toddlers and a dog and I like that these pins have large visible heads in case they fall on the floor. This video is great and very motivating for me. I just subscribed to your channel :)
Hi Carmell - thank you so much for your comment. We are using one of our favorite pins by Collins found here: www.fatquartershop.com/collins-50-ct-2-in-flat-flower-pins
Thanks!!!
I’m new to learning to quilt baby blankets. Can you explain why one fabric is larger and then cut the extra off?
The backing fabric is larger to allow for enough to make certain to fit the entire quilt top lengthwise and widthwise and to have enough to make the quilt top precise in dimensions.
@@BPauler1 thank you.
Hello Simply Michee! The backing fabric and batting needs to be a few inches larger than the quilt top to accommodate the shifting that can happen during quilting. Here's a good example on a mini sample: ua-cam.com/video/pGiIwd2klEk/v-deo.html
What kind of fabric do you recommend?
Thank you for asking bsaltus3, we made this with cotton on camera but we have also made this with flannel. They both work nicely.
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?
Jacquie, receiving blankets are primarily used for newborns and young infants because they are small, soft and lightweight. When you bring them home from the hospital, you often use a "receiving" blanket; i.e. you are receiving your baby. Of course, they're good for many uses throughout a young child's life.
What kind of fabric are you using ?
Hello Sophie! Kimberly used the Little Ark Fabric Collection which is no longer available.
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. :-(
Christine Ellingson yes me too
Hi lost the pattern u had abt tissue ?? I need to make that for mother day!! Pls send me tutorial n pattern thank uuuuuuuuuu
Sure, no problem, here is the pattern: static.fatquartershop.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/ReceivingBlanket-Pattern.pdf
Could I add batting inside ?
Absolutely!
Hi, im completly new to this. Where can i buy all those squares? im looking for something more girly. im having a baby girl in september 1st. do i have to buy all the squares seperatly or do they all come just like in the video? thanks for any help :)
linda puente Welcome to quilting! If you go to our website you can find all sorts of fabric to use.

Fat Quarter Shop thank your so much i'll take a look at all of the links above :) can't wait to get started !
Fat Quarter Shop are these cotton in your video?
Where so you get that corner template??
Hello Anne! It is available on our site here: www.fatquartershop.com/creative-grids-multi-size-curved-corner-cutter-ruler-cgrccc We linkthe products used in the description box, underneath the title where it says 'Show More'.
Is this made with flannel?
This quilt in particular is not made with flannel, we used cotton fabric. However, you could easily substitute it with flannel. Thanks for watching!
What is the seam allowance
Hello Josephine! A seam allowance is the area between the fabric edges and the line of stitches.
is the baby quilt fabric flannel or cotton
most likely cotton, youre not supposed to iron flannel.
I would probably use a soft flannel. It can be pressed.
It looks like she used regular cotton fabric, but this would be awesome in flannel fabric too! I do iron flannel, I just iron it from the back, not the front. I have done this for years with no issues. :)
Do you have a tutorial for the blanket behind you?
Hi LaDrenda, there is not a tutorial for the quilt in the background, but it is our It's Sew Emma pattern called "The Magical Cat in the Hat"
Do you wash your flannel first?
Hello Terri! No, we do not prewash our flannel fabric.
Thank you, so much conflicting chatter about this topic!!!!!❣️
Can you recheck pattern? I’m unable to download :(
Hello Kelly! Here is an updated link to the pattern: www.fatquartershop.com/two-by-two-receiving-blanket
how do u see them so straight? mine never match.
I believe the precision comes from cutting accurately to begin with, having a 1/4" foot with a guide and pinning. If you do those three things, your quilt tops will be more straight and accurate overall.
Where can I get the cutting mat you are using g pleaze
It's called a Mega Mat and you can search for them online and find them various places. Here is a link i just found: quiltersrule.com/ProductThumbs.php?category=15
A bit hard for a beginner... What's a nesting seam?
Hello Lah! A nesting seam is when you have two blocks or units that you're joining together and the seams from each one nestle with the other one. Usually they are going in the opposite direction and they snug together.
@@FatQuarterShopTX OK thanks
hello there, your videois great.!May I know how could I possibly reach you further for some inquiries? Thank you!
Certainly - just email us at Kimberly@fatquartershop.com Thanks!
Odd question but what iron is that and where can I find it?
Hi Svannah, the iron we are using is the Rowenta Compact Travel Steam Iron and you can find it here: www.fatquartershop.com/compact-travel-steam-iron-by-rowenta-first-class
Svannah M. It is a $200 iron at Joanne Fabrics. Too much for me.
I have to get an iron for my sewing station too. A travel size would be perfect...or one that is cheap!
Why no batting?
Hello Warrior 4ever! A receiving blanket is a baby quilt that is traditionally gifted to newborns. It's usually very thin with no batting. You are welcome to add batting if you'd like.
What is the fabric?
Hello Rahy! The fabric used in this video was Little Ark Fabric Collection by Carina Gardner
Wish you sold that fabric
Hello Diane! We sold it when the collection was released but it is no longer available.
How about a video about the cat in the hat quilt behind you!?!
Thanks lynnjo2010 for the suggestion. Here is a link to The Magical Cat in the Hat Quilt Pattern: www.fatquartershop.com/the-magical-cat-in-the-hat-quilt-pattern

It's a baby blanket. They can be used for swaddling the baby.
So what is a receiving blanket?
Hello Peter! A receiving blanket is a baby quilt that is traditionally gifted to newborns. It's usually very thin with no batting.
for me they look like pillow cases
She doesn’t say what seam allowance to sew this
Hello Victoria! The pattern says to use a 1/4" seam www.fatquartershop.com/two-by-two-receiving-blanket
Beautiful blanket but as a total beginner I don't understand anything here. Too bad, gonna look for another tutorial.
she dosnt even show us how to do it😮😧😕😐
Rosa Martinez Exactly what I thought. It was so incomplete...not seeing the absolute finished product! I was disappointed.
Rosa Martinez the fuck you mean? You are sewing one piece of fabric to another piece of fabric in one straight line. The fuck do you mean?!?
Sarya Polo - Rohit then go fucking finish it ya bent broke bitch.
how to do nails
What fabric type do you use for the back?
Hi Kristine! You can use any fabric you like! We recommend using something from the same collection so it matches, but a Cuddle (minky fabric) would also be great and it's sew soft!
