Tutorial: Ruffled Edge Baby Blanket

You can’t go wrong giving a blanket as a baby gift. Even if the parents have everything they need for the baby, a new blanket is always appreciated. Sew4Home shows how you can make this baby blanket with ruffled trim around the edges. It’s made from quilting cottons with batting between the layers. Choose one fabric for the top, another for the back, and a third for the ruffle. If you use fabrics that all come from the same line, you’ll be sure to come up with a set of fabrics that coordinate perfectly.
