We’ve been invited by Maureen Fiorellini to join her Blossom and Grow Blog Hop! In celebration of her new fabric collection, Maureen has organized makers and projects each day starting on June 20. There will be tutorials, inspiration, and some fun giveaways! We have a giveaway here for you, too! Read on to find out more and see the beautiful receiving blanket we made with Blossom & Grow by Maureen Fiorellini for Studio E Fabrics.
Maureen’s Blossom and Grow collection has bright rainbows, fluttering butterflies, and hopping bunnies making it the perfect choice to welcome a new baby!
Two by Two Receiving Blanket
We thought Blossom and Grow would be absolutely perfect for remaking our Two by Two Receiving Blanket. We are so happy with how adorable it turned out!
Follow along with Kimberly in the tutorial below to see step-by-step how to make the Two by Two Receiving Blanket.
This cute-as-can-be-quilt project can be done in a day or less and is beginner-friendly, making it perfect for new quilters or little ones who want to learn. It finishes at 26″ x 26″.
The only thing you need in addition to your fabrics and the pattern is the Creative Grids Multi-Size Curved Corner Cutter Ruler to form the rounded edges. And you can also use the free paper template with the Two by Two Receiving Blanket Free PDF Pattern if you like.

I would make several of the receiving blankets to keep on hand for gifts.
Thank you all so much for this quick and easy receiving blanket tutorial. I’m coaching a friend in making her first baby quilt for a first granddaughter. So I believe crib sheets and this blankie would be a great gift in Blossom and Grow. Who can resist those precious butterflies and rainbows.
