A quilted receiving blanket



I made this receiving blanket for a friend who just had her first baby. The fabrics were all from my stash, all I had to buy was the chenille that I used for the reverse side. The squares are 6x6", and the whole thing took just two hours to make once I had the squares cut. There is no batting in the middle. The top is mostly flannels and quilting cotton (I think the little cowboy print is the cutest thing!), and the reverse is a light blue chenille. It is lightweight but very cuddly, and it was very well received.

I don't think you can every have too many baby blankets, and this one was handmade but easy to care for, so I hope that Karim and his mommy will enjoy using it! :)
