My only complaint is that it works with only two pieces of fabric – there's really no way to add batting. I've made it with fleece as the over-sized backing, and that give the blanket a little more heft, which I like.

I just bought this pattern from Craftsy. It is different than the one Jenny Doan demonstrates. There is batting in the pattern for Kate's Big Binding Quilt. There is even a formula for making the big binding on any size quilt. Watch the you tube video and you will see the use of the batting. They suggest quilting it lightly, however...and that is after the binding is applied.

OMG that's amazing. THANK YOU THANK YOU

I made a few of these a couple of years ago for my granddaughter when she was born. Very quick, easy and effective. I got the pattern from Missouri Quilt company.

From memory she referred to them as "receiving blankets" hence no wadding.

I think I need to buy the pattern. Looks pretty fun to do for a different look. Thanks for sharing
