Create this easy baby quilt from receiving blankets

When the winter comes, keeping their baby cozy and warm is one of the most important things a parent needs to ensure if they want to protect them. You can make a nice and comfy quilt for your child with all the unused receiving blankets people have gifted you after the baby was born. You can start this project by cutting squares out of the different fabrics.

Once you have your blankets cut out, sew the squares into the two sides of the quilt, and add some padding in the middle. To finish the piece, make the quilted pattern with your sewing machine.
