So do I . Made 2 of these years ago for my bestie's baby shower. Now one of hubby's nieces is having her first, so I re-watched and made another 2 blankets. Oddly enough, I found some scrapbook paper that is a perfect match for one of the prints, so she's getting a mini-album too.

Just thought I would let everybody know I made a somewhat smaller version today. I had a bunch of 1 yard cuts of flannel so I cut them into 34" X 34" and 29" X 29". They were slightly smaller than jenny's with a smaller border.

Hey there! I'm 15 years old and am in the process of making my second quilt ever! The first I made when I was 10 with my grandma and then in between then and now I've made some pillows, pj pants, and other misc. things for fun! The quilt I'm currently doing is for credits in my sewing class at school. I'm planning on making one of these baby blankets for my cousin and his wife who are expecting a baby here in February.

Love how my blanket turned out, thanks Jenny! When it was time to do the corners I put two safety pins along each stitch line and turned the blanket inside out. That way I could make sure it was correct before sewing and cutting the corners off.

I love love love thes receiving blankets. I get 70" of each fabric so I can make 2 of them, reversed of each other so they are a set!

Want to thank you for the idea of the blankets we have a few women that get together at my house to use up my fabric. We have made over fifty blankets with the scraps being turned into bibs & burb clothes and given them to pregnency crisis centers and hospitals Then I decided we could use the same idea and make placemats with the same concept. We have made over 300 with my friend Laura taking many home to do and probably have made herself a 100. One lady, Moreen, comes that does not sew but is a darn good ironer We have given them to Meals On Wheels in different towns to pass out to the shut ins. Love your ideas thanks again.

I always machine wash and machine dry flannel before using it in any project. Before washing I either pink or serge the raw edges. There are so many different qualities and varieties of flannel, and prewashing seems to even them out. It also gives me an opportunity to feel the fabric as it will be in use. Since I always hope a baby blanket will be used a lot, if I find the flannel is soft and inviting to the touch, I feel it will have better reception and more frequent use. I have also eliminated fabrics after washing because they did not hold up well enough to be used in a project that will demand frequent cycles in a machine.PS this blanket is amazing to make and give!

I referred to this and other videos before making the final cuts, and it worked out. I used 39/29 measurements because that's all I had and those sizes were fine.

Julie Weaver i would tack it here and there or do a few straight quilting lines so the layers stay together nicely.

I used Jenny's method to self-bind a mini-quilt. It turned out perfect and saved me alot of time! Next will be a blanket!

It's been a long time since I've done any sewing. On line tutorials is new for me. I took my lap top to my sewing corner and re-watched while I made my baby blanket. It turned out beautiful, It took longer than 10 minutes, but so much faster than all the old methods. Thank you!

I’ve attempted to make this twice and it didn’t lie flat. Luckily this time I didn’t cut off the inside bunny ears and checked it out. The key is to place the ruler on the FOLD for the 90 degree angle. If you put it on the edge of the fabric you are sewing and cutting it in the opposite direction for a mitered corner.

Tip A: Whenever you have to stop sewing at a particular point where you wouldn’t usually have to stop sewing, place 2 straight pins side by side and they will serve as your warning to stop sewing. Tip B. When you have to leave an opening for turning something inside out put 2 straight pins side by side on each side of the space you want to leave open. When your sewing along and you come to 2 pins side by side you'll know you have to stop sewing, and to start sewing again where the next 2 straight pins are side by side on the other side of the opening.

Awesome tip..thank you🌈💝✂️🧵

What a great tutorial for a fun project! Thank you, Jenny! I watched a few times and when it came to mitering the corners, it helped me to watch on my laptop "upside down" to get the idea for the angled triangle and correct stitching line. It's probably just me--I'm learning so much at 76 years young! My farm themed flannel blanket for a toddler is completed! I'll be making more of these!

This is great! I just was invited to a BBQ this Saturday and today is Thursday at 9 p.m. The friend that invited us is 7 months pregnant and I hate to show up empty handed and I don't like to buy things. I prefer to make things one-of-a-kind. I am so thankful. I plan to run to the fabric store Friday morning and jet home to make two of these.

GOT BOXED EDGES :( For all of you who did the same thing I did, here's the solution I found. I did the same thing and found that the reason for a box shape finish is because the wrong edge was mitered or went in the wrong direction. Make sure the straight edge on your ruler lines up on the folded edge not the sewn edge before you mark your fabric to cut and sew it. I also found that you don't need to throw away your incorrect blanket. Just turn it inside out again. Remeasure the miter in the correct direction. When you turn it right side out, the inner piece will be a little bubbled, but you can fold the extra under, so the miter edge lays flat, then iron it in place all the way around and then do the topstich to hold it all down. It will just be a little thicker in that area, but it still worked and I didn't need to waste the fabric. Blanket is a bit smaller but not a big deal. Hope this helps

Your tutorial is wonderfully clear. Just made my first one today from purple flannel backing and adorable cotton with little giraffes for the front. It came out perfect!

I just bought some flannel..and "expecting" my first grandbaby..so this will be one of my projects. Since I am a very beginner quilter,I am loving the simplicity !

a fantastic and sweet receiving blanket. and I'm in the process of making a set of three for a baby shower. But may I make one VERY important point.. when you see something WRITTEN down as Jenny did.. make sure you do it to!! I did not.. and ended up wasting fabric, making myself all because I did NOT pay attention to the word SQUARE.. I know it seems like a silly and dumb mistake and granted it is.. but I got so wrapped up in the simplicity of I failed to pay attention to diminsions of it I will say the next set I made were perfect. Isn't amazing how well something can go when you follow directions. This from a 70 year .... DUH!

flutterbyhats G You can still make it self binding - you just have to be sure that the back fabric is the same number of inches bigger on all 4 sides. Ex: if your inside fabric is 18" x 72", and you want about a 3" finished border - your back fabric must be 30" x 84" - this makes your back fabric 6" bigger on each of the 4 sides before sewing (which turns into about a 3" finished border after sewing).

Erin Groff Does your finished size include the border? If so, I believe you would cut the back fabric 55" (which allows 2" to come forward for the border and 1" to allow 1/2" seam on each side) by 33" ( which allows 2" to come forward for the border and 1" to allow 1/2" seam on each side). I would then cut the inside fabric 49 x 27, which allows 1/2" seam.

yes it does, sorry for the delay.... you can cut to any size, but it has to be a 10" different between the two pieces or it will not work. I went with the with of the larger fabric.... 42" and by 42"... inside 32" x 32"..

Thank you so very much for show how easy this project it! I truly enjoy your videos! :)

Made my first one last night. I LOVE IT!! I have a few up comming baby showers to go to and handmade gifts are always great. I decided to make a "practice" blanket for my 1 year old neice (so I made it a little bigger), sooo quick and easy and it turned out great. Already thinking of way to tweak it to make other items...preschool nap mat...baby carrier coverup.. burp cloths... adult throw blanket (for me) , and my list keeps growing.

Brenda Connell I did the same thing! For what its worth, this is what I did. I carefully restitched the piece back to the corner I cut and sewed wrong. I tried to get it as close to the original size as possible. Then I drew the mitered corner correct this time! Stitched and cut. That corner has 2 an extra little triangular seams but, you really don't notice unless you look.The blanket came out precious in spite of the faux pas. Hard lesson, but I'm pretty new to this so it was a really good teaching lesson. All I can say is I'm glad I only did one wrong and not all 4!

You should make an edit when you say, "make an equilateral triangle," to "right triangle." I went into a tizzy for about a half an hour because I couldn't figure out how you made it an equilateral until I realized to pay attention to the picture and not the words :)

Another favorite tutorial by MSQC ! I have made this receiving blanket over and over for showers and my own grandkids! Thanks for the great tutorial!

I did this as a quilt with contrasting fabric. The batting was the same as the larger sized piece. They turned out adorable (for twins) I was pleased at how simple this pattern was.

Hard to pick just one but I like the self binding baby quilt. The perfect go-to if you need a baby gift but don't have much time. That makes it my favorite tutorial.

I am extremely new to seeing! I have only made placemats before. I am trying this for my sister who is having her second baby at the beginning of April. I seem to have a tricky time with seeing a straight line. I haven't reversed the blanket yet and am a little nervous, will my slightly "wonky" line effect the look of the blanket? Also nervous about my corners! Eekk! Not gonna lie, I had started and stopped this video so many times during my project to make sure I was doing it right, I giggled every time you said "10 minute project"! Someday it will be a quick project for me :) hopefully...

Just finished a baby shower gift and made a smaller doll size for the big sister(5yrs).Thank you for my future baby gifts.

These are amazing! I've made a number of them, and they were a hit. TIP: I found out on the third one how to get the corners perfect. Before I did this, the corners didn't look right and weren't lined up square, having moved in the sewing process. So, as you're sewing toward the corner, pin the corner pieces together so the edges remain squared up. It helps so that it lays flat once you turn the blanket right side out too.

The 90 degree angle does not work for a mitered corner..need to change that . The 90 makes the corners cup up and not lay flat.

Mine didn't either the first 4 attempts. You have to make sure you cut the fabric precisely. It doesn't matter the size as long as they are even all the way around. As I am pinning my front fabric to the back fabric, I check to see if the edge of the smaller piece is exactly the same distance from the edge of the larger piece and adjust accordingly. If not, your corners will not miter evenly. BTW, the mitered corner is cut at a 45 degree angle rather than a 90 degree angle as she mentioned.

I love this Self Binding Baby Quilt. I made three of them in one afternoon for my daughter's baby shower when she was expecting her first baby. She loves them also.

Love this blanket pattern. I had seen a blanket like this before and couldn't figure our how it was made. I have made 2 so far. The first one was to specs, for my 6 mnth old grand daughter. The second one used a 48 x38 inch piece of flannel and a 40 x 30 inch piece. It was the perfect size for my 4 yr old grandson. Love you Jenny!!

Hi Jenny, I have made a number of your self binding baby blankets. I have a question. If I wanted to make a smaller one, is it always that the larger fabric is 10" bigger than the smaller one? For example, if I wanted to make one 35" square and 25" square, would it come out the same, or if I wanted to go bigger can I do something like 44" square and 34" square? Not too sure if anything else changes. Thanks, Barbara

NOTE: WHEN MEASURING AND CUTTING THE "BUNNY EAR CORNERS", MAKE SURE THE FOLDED SIDE IS FACING YOU, AND PUT THE RULER ALONG THE FOLDED SIDE OF THE FABRIC (not the cut side-the corners will sag in)NOT THE CUT SIDE.

I don't know if this is the correct way but I would cut the batting it fit the top piece, baste or tac it on, then attach the back bigger binding piece as per instructions. The basting is to hold it in place while attaching the back piece. You could then quilt it but just to where the binded edge starts. Remove basting stitches and done.

debimdza I tried this and it worked perfect. By tacking it to the top you just use it becomes one piece of fabric

tried this twice and I can't get it to lye flat. it's going to become a big cushion!!!!

Colette Noke, I did the same thing and found that the reason for a box shape finish is because the wrong edge was mitered or went in the wrong direction. Make sure the straight edge on your ruler lines up on the folded edge not the sewn edge before you mark your fabric to cut and sew it. I also found that you don't need to throw away your incorrect blanket. Just turn it inside out again. Remeasure the miter in the correct direction. When you turn it right side out, the inner piece will be a little bubbled, but you can fold the extra under, so the miter edge lays flat, then iron it in place all the way around and then do the topstich to hold it all down. It will just be a little thicker in that area, but it still worked and I didn't need to waste the fabric. Blanket is a bit smaller but not a big deal. Hope this helps

Brooke Lund I would love to see pictures, I trimmed mine and everything before discovering my mistake. did you rip out the existing miters?

Tiffani Hoffman I gave the Blaney away for a gift so I don't have a picture. I did take the miter out but you end up cutting if off anyway when you redo the miter in the correct direction. When you turn it right side out there will be extra fabrice in the middle of the blanket but the mitered edge should lay correct. just spread out the upper fabric evenly. it will fold over the top of the seam. then iron it down and do your top stitch on the edge. Sorry I don't have any pictures

I am concerned abt washing this blanket, since we don't do anything to keep it flat. Is momma gonna have to iron it, every time? You know what I mean? Is it going to come out of the dryer all catty wompus....lol?

Thank you for this video! I love your method for mitering the corners and I'm so excited to make some receiving blankets for my new little one. Thanks again!

This is such a wonderful project for baby showers. I get 2 yards of each pattern and make two blankets and burp cloths from the scraps, so quick, so fun, I love making them. I have made 4 sets this year, thanks Jenny.

I have done something wrong but I don't know what mine looks more like a box it's not folding correctly I don't know I wish she'd of spent a bit more time on the corners.

+Dana Sapp Line up the bottom of the folded side instead of the bottom of the cut edges. I did that....got a box. Did it correctly, got a beautiful little blanket.

I wish there was a bigger picture of this because I commented that I had 3 that turned up like a box and 1 corner did not. I used a rectangle fabric to make a test sample first and all but 1 corner did this box and the 4th did not. I think I see what is wrong now. I might try her 2nd video and see if it is easier. I'm ripping out that corner to try and resew the sample. When I purchased the fabric the seller told me to not cut the corner until you turn it because she cut it the wrong way. My blanket is measuring 45" square on the inside so I'm going to piece the larger one to make in 55". Any comments would be appreciated.

Now I figured the one I thought was wrong is the correct way and the other 3 were wrong because they gave me the turned up boat look. Guess I'm not going to figure this out now to change the other 3 but try the other method.

I've made many two-sided receiving blankets before, but this is definitely easier and prettier than what I was doing. Thanks, Jenny!

I love this video. Its easy to follow. We made one for granddaughter #2 and watching it again for granddaughter # 3, plus using this same process for making 2 teddy bear quilts for the girls' teddy bears as well. LOL. Its so fun!

Love love your videos. I am a self taught sewer. I have made one blanket. Came out perfect. I have now cut another 4 ...they make perfect gifts. I would also like to thank you for the chicken pin cushion. Cheers

I made this baby blanket years ago & turned out great. Back again because needed refresher to make another for a gift. Still relevant❤️😊🥰 Thx for great tutorials.

Can't wait to make this with a bit of flannel I have around in my stash! Thanks Jenny!

I have a book that explains this method, however until Jenny showed it, I didn't understand how it worked! I am thankful for so many MSQC videos to help me "get it" ;-)

Hi I have never quilted before November 2013, I have since made 7 memory quilts using your u tube videos, I love them i just made today 3 receiving blankets, Genny you are a great teacher thank you. I just ordered two different kinds of rulers from Mqc, love you guys thanks.

Jenny..you do make EVERYTHING look so EASY. I decided to start with a lap quilt. The measurements were rectangle and only 6" bigger for the back. Well, it did turn out fine with the fabric being a "little" wonky. I see why the 10" difference is important to this pattern. I appreciate being able to make one to completion. I always appreciate your tutorials. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Just finished my first receiving blanket. So glad I bought a few inches more of material as when I pre-washed them they were down to nearly the exact size I needed! Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. :)

I ended up using the minky fabric for my larger cut and a cute flannel fabric for my smaller cut. Minky tends to curl at the edges so I did a half inch seem allowance and really took my time. I used way more pins then you would normally use, but with a stretch fabric I think it's necessary. It turned out really well. My top stitch could have been better, but over all it's really cute. I'm sure my friend will love it! Thanks so much for the wonderful tutorial!

I absolutely love the Missouri Star Quilt tutorials! Thanks Jenny!

I made placemats and a lampshade table topper using the method shown in this tutorial. I should have preshrunk my fabrics because the placemats did distort after washing. Thanks again MSQC, your tutorials are fabulous!

I just finished one this morning. It was for a baby shower, and the first one I ever made. So easy and fun! Just be careful where you put the cut. I didn't pay attention and had to do some patching. Line the ruler against the folded edge. I top stitched using a decorative stitch. Very pretty - even with my mistake and patching. Thank you Jenny or another wonderful tutorial. I love your enthusiasm and joyfulness! God bless you!

Missouri Star Quilt Company Since you have done this self-binding quilt maybe you can help me out. I did exactly as I seen this but when I sew the small 30" to the 40 (sewing all the way around I do not g the wonkey bunny ears? I am missing something to these corners but cant see it?

Jenny ... You are delightful. I've made these baby quilts under your guidance several times. Today need more for a new baby and decided to watch your tutorial once again to refresh and make sure I get it right. Thanks for being you .. lovely lady.

This is my favorite 'go to' for a quick baby gift!

This is going to be my go to baby blanket from now on. Thanks jenny

You are such a good teacher-I wish I had YOU as my teacher in junior High many years ago!!! I love to sew Now at 68 years old... I have to catch up. Thanks Jenny

I love how unpretentious you are. I’m going to be a grandmother for the first time soon God willing, and I’m going to make this. Thanks, Jenny!

I did it! I made a baby blanket using your tutorial & it turned out gorgeous! I watched several you tube videos using this technique but yours was the easiest to follow. Thank you so much!

I have used this method to make some placemats for my daughter-in-law and also for my niece. Thanks, Jenny!

I have made about 15 of these blankets and they are absolutely the best! Very easy and always turn out perfect. Thanks for the best instructions.

Jenny, this video never gets old and I love having it to go to every time to make this fun and easy blanket!! It's a saved favorite of mine. I just finished one for my first great granddaughter due soon and this time I made it with both prints the same. I couldn't resist as the print is all lambs and birds in pinks, greys and white.. and it's just too cute to be on one side! It came out soo absolutely adoooorable!!!! :))) Can never thank you enough for all your wonderful and thorough teachings!!...you've helped me up my quilting skills for sure over the years!! TY!!!! :))

Just finished my first blanket and it turned out super cute! I used a decorative top stitch and it looks so professional! Thanks Jenny for this great tutorial. Can't wait to start my second blanket! :)
