Summer time seems to equate to baby time. And as I've said before, every baby needs its very own baby blanket, made just for him/her.
This one was for one of my son's teachers. He selected the fabric by himself - can you tell it was a baby boy? And this is a new pattern that I hadn't done before. The tutorial is by Diary of a Quilter over at Shannon Fabrics. It is a little tricky in that your measurements have to be perfectly exact to make it come out without any little puckers. I do love the super soft cuddle fabric in the middle of soft soft flannel. I know it looks like the cuddle fabric (green) is small, but it really does take up the majority of the center of the quilt.
This is a great baby blanket and I will be using this pattern a lot in the future.
We also needed a blanket for a little girl. Why is it that you can never go wrong with pink? And we "pinked" this one out. This is my go-to ric rac blanket pattern. I've made lots and lots of these and they are so quick and easy . . . . and they turn out so darn cute!
For some reason the options for baby girl flannels are limited right now - at least at my favorite baby flannel fabric shop. This was a quick choice just to get me out of the store, but when I got it home, I really really loved it. And you can't go wrong with pink polka dots! All in all, another winner, in my humble opinion.
