The first quilt I ever made was the baby blanket quilt for my son. I took his receiving blankets and made a twin sized quilt from them. I used a sheet blanket to back it, no batting because he was always throwing off the heavy covers. years later, I made some for my niece and nephew, I used a kid print sheet to back it, using a sheet blanket instead of batting due to heavy washing I knew it would get. I used blanket binding, and had to replace my nephews three times, since he liked to rub it between his fingers and wore it out in spots. all the kids loved them, I just made my grandkids theirs. They are not fancy, but they love knowing they were their blankets. I sewed their name on a blanket at the top. :mrgreen:
