![3 Receiving Blankets](https://www.artquiltmaker.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/wpid-wp-1416690905306-300x107.jpeg)
I went to Stone Mountain and Daughter, a fabric store in Berkeley, a few weeks ago looking for some fabric for pants. I didn’t find the pants fabric I wanted, but they had a nice selection of flannel at a good price, so I bought some pieces to make receiving blankets for a friend’s daughter who had a baby a few months ago.
I know the colors are not totally matchy matchy, but I liked something about the combination.

I like making receiving blankets for gifts, but they are still a pain to make so I used some large and loose decorative stitches. I am pleased with how they look and will send them off soon.
