Crafting Tips

You can totally personalize this blanket by using whatever fabric colors and patterns match the nursery theme or your own preference.
Cuddle fabric is wonderfully soft, but can be messy to cut, so keep a vacuum or lint roller handy.
For a slightly larger blanket, you can use all 40 squares of the charm pack instead of just 30. (I’d lay them out in 8 rows of 5).

What is Cuddle fabric?

Cuddle is high-quality minky fabric that’s ultra-soft to the touch as well as durable. It’s available in over 100 solid colors as well as patterns.
