Self-binding Baby Blanket Tutorial

I saw this tutorial on another blog and tried it out. It was great! I love how easy it is to put this blanket together and how cute it turns out! The tutorial came from Tea Rose Home. The link is http://tearosehome.blogspot.com/2010/08/tutorial-swaddle-blanket-with-self.html

I made this one from two pieces of coordinating flannel. I bought one yard of each and then cut them into squares, as the tutorial explains, but I made the smaller piece larger by two inches (38" instead of 36"). The width of the binding was less around the edges. Next time, I will stay with the original sizes, so the binding will be wider. I still love the way it turned out and it is a great size (38" square) for my four month old granddaughter to enjoy now and grow a little, too.
I have already made a couple of others and will be giving them out to new mothers this year. I like to use fabrics that are not the usual baby colors and designs. I have lots of fun looking for two pieces of fabric that will complement each other, but when put together, the blanket will yell, I am an original!
