Re-Puposing Receiving Blankets

When my little guy was born we got a ton of receiving blankets. Also, friends and family were very sweet to also give us and make us a bunch of other cute blankets that we wanted to use first so we never got to actually use the receiving blankets. So I decided to put them to good use and cut them up into squares and make a rag/patch quilt out of them. It was super easy! Once I cut our the squares I laid them out to make the pattern I wanted. Then I sewed them into rows and then sewed the rows together. However this was my first attempt at making a patch quilt so many of my blocks didn't line up exactly. I figured my lil guy wouldn't care and that I would do better on the next one I make. When I gave it to him he hauled it around the house saying ahhh.... ahhh for like 10 minutes. So if you are not the best of the best at sewing its okay kids dont care :)

Couldn't resist showing my little guy with his new blankie :)
