Blankets
Cuddle + Flannel Baby Blanket
You’ll love this blanket’s easy binding, formed by wrapping a flannel backing square around to the front to create a wide, continuous border. We also show you a clever way to stitch the rick rack in place for a perfect reveal.
Fast Bound Blanket
Fast and easy. Soft and cuddly. Isn’t that what we all want in a toasty throw to ward off winter’s chills?! Our luxury plush blanket features a velvet binding, which allows you to take the rich softness all the way to the edge.
Patchwork Bed Runner
A bed runner is a decorative throw for the foot of the bed that helps protect a fancier full-size quilt or bedspread. Sit on it or stretch out and place your feet on it. We used ours to show off some very pretty patchwork and quilting.
Patchwork Lap Blanket
A lovely patchwork panel meets an ol’ softie fleece panel; they fall in love and become inseparable. That’s the true tale of this beautiful lap blanket: the perfect pair. Love the yarn bows at each intersection!
Cat + Dog Protective Furniture Throws
Stay off the furniture! But that’s only when you’re watching. Shield your surfaces in style with an easy-to-launder pet throw. Yes, of course you could use an old sheet, but you sew + fabric companies make adorable pet prints.
Baby Rag Quilt
With a rag quilt, you want your seams to show! After washing and drying, the exposed seams gently fray or ‘rag,’ producing a very soft and cuddly feel – perfect for babies. Our design features unique scalloped outer edges.
Child’s Blanket and Pillow with Matching Bag
A clever portable sleep set is good for summer road trips, a visit to grandma’s house, or anywhere a little rest is needed. We call ours the Nap-In-A-Bag: a lightweight drawstring bag that holds a fleece blanket + matching pillow.

Longer, sunnier days are perfect for a picnic. Our double layer blanket is simple + quick; you could start it after lunch and be using it by dinner. Reinforced corners with grommets let you spike the blanket into the ground.

Using 10″ Layer Cake squares, you can whip up this cute and cozy lap blanket in a single afternoon. The patchwork is about as basic as you can get, and the quilting is done with hand-sewn buttons. A very beginner-friendly project.
Big + Soft Sweatshirt Knit Blanket
Is there a certain someone you know who loves the nappin’ life? Whip up a lightweight blanket in an incredibly soft, organic cotton sweatshirt knit! We include instructions for making the adorable personalized fabric tag.
Play Mat + Blanket

Reversible Knit Baby Blanket
This easy-to-assemble knit blanket is made from 15 wide and narrow panels in three coordinating knits. The blanket comes together in a snap and is cleverly sandwiched and topstitched so all seams are finished front and back.
Sleepover Bag with Matching Pillowcase
Whether traveling or staying home for the holidays, kids will love crashing near the Christmas tree in this cozy sleepover bag and matching pillowcase made in pretty holiday flannel and cotton. It’s big, but it’s not complex.
Flannel + Sherpa Fleece Lovie
Small and soft; those are the requirements for a “lovie” – a cuddle-up-with-me blanket destined to become an instant favorite and a soothing companion for nap time, story time, or any time a little soft security is needed.

A large, plush center framed with patchwork and poms. Even if you’ve NEVER done any patchwork, you can make this beautiful throw. Part of the fun is picking out 72 border squares, combining your favorite colors and patterns.
Patchwork Baby Quilt with Monogram
This handsome (and easy) quilt is made up of bright, bold geometrics. We added a custom monogram to a bottom corner square to personalize the project and make it a cherished keepsake for baby and parents.
Sew Soft Cuddle® Strip Blankets
Strip piecing is a fast and easy mainstay in quilting; we’ve borrowed the technique for a bundle-up, super soft blanket. And, rather than using only one-directional strips, we mixed horizontal insets within the main vertical strips.
Knit Baby Hats + Receiving Blankets
Soft receiving blankets and cute little hats are a classic combo to delight a new mama and daddy. If you are brand new to knits, we also link to our full Sewing with Knits tutorial for helpful tips, tools, and techniques.
Woolies Flannel Rag Quilt
Wrap up your favorite someone in this snuggly rag quilt with its special “secret admirer” heart appliqué. A rag quilt is sewn together so the seams show on the outside. After washing and drying, the seams begin gently fray or rag.
The Lodge Blanket
Toasty. That’s what this blanket is all about. We layered a plush Sherpa style faux fur with a rich faux suede then bound it all around with the suede. The natural tones and classic plaid have the rustic look of a lumberjack coat.
Lap Blanket with DIY Chenille Accents
When temperatures dip, it’s a perfect time for a lightweight lap blanket to keep you cozy. Our 41” x 41” design features corner tassels and unique accent scallops. Wash, fluff, and dry to give these strips the fuzzy feel of chenille.

These adorable blankets are simply begging for hugs. Made with a double layer of super soft luxury fleece and sporting a lightly stuffed animal head and ears in one corner, who could resist giving them a loving squeeze?!
Cute Ruffled Edge Baby Blanket
Cute blankets are always a welcome baby gift. Like painters need their protective drop cloths, babies are often in need of their own little piece of clean real estate, which they can then destroy as they choose.
Hand-Tied Patchwork + Sherpa Throw
We used bold, bright fabrics from Kaffe Fassett to create this bohemian throw. It has a patchwork front bound and backed in super soft sherpa-style fleece – then hand-tied to finish.
Personalized Bound Blanket
A handsome binding in alternating fabrics is set against a field of soft, double-sided fleece. We personalized it with a name embroidered in one corner. Even if you’re brand new, you can create this blanket in just a couple hours.
Rustic Rag Quilt
On the “Easy Quilting Scale,” the rag quilt ranks right at the top. It’s sewn with the seams exposed, and the whole idea is to create a softly rumpled, very cuddly, wrap-me-up-now result. It’s a great gift idea in fall-tone batiks.
Dream Big Reversible Baby Blanket
A plush baby blanket with a lush satin ruffle!! This is an absolutely beautiful blend of soft and smooth textures and a perfect idea for the next new baby on your 2023 gift list.
Faux Flange Cuddle Blanket

Faux Fur Pelt-Cut Chair Throw
Transform a plain chair with a cover of softness and warmth. Our faux fur + suede throw is cut to resemble the natural, hourglass shape of an animal pelt. We spotted a similar option online from a top home décor retailer!
How to Make Continuous Bias Binding
It’s a little bit like the ancient art of origami. You start out with a flat square (or rectangle), and after a few folds, flips, and slices, you have perfect bias strips ready to become custom binding for your next project.
Textural Baby Tag Blanket + Play Mat
A baby’s first year is all about touch. Why not create a wonderfully soft surface full of interesting textures to investigate?! It’s what’s called a “tag blanket,” combining the classic security blanket with an activity play mat.

Baby Receiving Blanket Trio
This Baby Shower Power Gift is the Goldilocks of receiving blanket options. Three different styles in one project: Baby Bear Decorative Stitch Blanket, Mama Bear Rick Rack Blanket, and Papa Bear Bound Edge Blanket.
Baby Cheater Quilt
A cheater quilt is one in which the top fabric is pre-printed with a patchwork design, allowing you to skip the piecing. It’s super fast and easy! As a fun twist, we used a soft piped edge rather than traditional binding.
Linen + Rayon Quilted Throw with Fringe
Do you usually turn to quilting cottons or fleece for a throw? Give linen and rayon a try! This lightweight yet warm throw has an absolutely amazing drape. The finishing touch is the swing and sparkle of chainette fringe.
Velvet Bound Fleece Throw with Secret Pocket

Double Sided Picnic Blanket with Carry Wrap
One side is cotton sateen, the other laminate, quilted together with polyester batting sandwiched between. We also created a clever carry wrap with shoulder straps. Fold and roll the blanket, wrap and Velcro® closed, and off you go.
