If you're binding something small, you'd want to use smaller bias tape, but if you're doing a regular sized blanket the largest size (which is 2" but makes 1" bias tape I think) is perfect. Good luck! The largest size is easiest to work with.

I've never seen bias tape made from anything other than solid colored broad cloth in stores. You can purchase a Clover bias tape maker at JoAnn for a few dollars and then you can make whatever you need. Good luck! Your best bet is to make it yourself.

Handmade baby blankets are definitely special and make great gifts. I like the fabric you chose a lot. Looks like a blanket that a little one would hold onto for years. Well done!

I noticed in the crib bumper post that you used 10 yards of bias tape. That's a lot of bias tape!!! Do you make your own bias tape?

Just as good as store-bought! No, better, because a lot more love was put into them! My mom used a nice wide satin bias tape to edge some fleece for baby blankets, they turned out fabulous!

With the winters in the mountains here we use tons of blankets. Thanks for the idea. This is much better than the tied version and seems easy enough. It has to a good money saver compared to buying.
