I love making these little blankets for babies. It takes me about an hour to make one, and they seem to be well-loved.
I have friends and relatives that tell me they are amongst their kids’ favorite blankets. Plus they last a long time.
One of the reasons: I do a lot of stitching. There are three lines of stitching on this one for the satin bias binding.
The fabric for this is a Riley Blake flannel and a lovely soft minky. I thought this flannel was perfect for a little boy that will eventually have a bunch of Hot Wheels. He can play with them on the roads on his blanket!
I did a tutorial a few years ago for making these blankets, which is here.
I stuffed this inside the diaper bag, and it is on its way to Tennessee. Finally. A little late, but that’s how I roll lately. Too much on the to-do list to get everything done on time!
And baseball/softball season is almost starting. Oy. I don’t think I have time right now to get things done…it is about to get worse!
I know an adorable little boy in TN who is absolutely going to love that blanket!! And I know his parents will LOVE the diaper bag! Amazing job as always 🙂
Well, I sure hope they like it…and thanks! They should get it today (finally!). 🙂
