Cuddle Receiving Blanket

Project: Cuddle Receiving BlanketSupply List:
30" x 30" Cuddle Fleece Fabric
3 strips of fabric, 4 1/2" width of fabric (approx. 126")
Coordinating thread

Instructions:
1. Stitch the three strips of fabric together at the short ends making one long strip.

2. At the ironing board, press under 1/4" to 3/8" on each of the long edges of your fabric strip. Then fold the strip in half to create your "Blanket Binding". The binding will be at 1 3/4" wide.

3. Carefully place the binding over the cut edges of the cuddle fabric starting along an edge, not a corner. Work your way around the blanket pinning every few inches. As you reach the corner, miter the fabric, creating a 45 degree angle fold at each corner, front and back.

4. Stitch the binding to the cuddle fabric being sure to catch both the front and the back side. Use a zig-zag, blind hem, blanket serpentine or other decorative stitch. The width helps you catch both sides.

5. Press and enjoy!
