  2. Place right sides of fabric together and sew around all four corners.  Make sure to leave an opening of 5 to 6 inches so that you can flip the blanket right side out.
  3. When you are done sewing around the edges, cut off the excess fabric. Also cut corners in an angle.  Next turn the blanket right side out.
