Another blanket

I couldn't resist! I saw some blankets like this for sale online and thought to myself: "I can make that!" After doing some google research to figure out what the heck I was doing I went fabric shopping. I also made the mistake of looking online for fabric. I now know what is out there. My local post office is going to become overwhelmed with incoming fabric orders.

Anyway, it's the first one I've done, but I had so much fun I'm sure there will be more in the future. For a first attempt I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Here's the front...made up of four different patterns of flannel:



A close-up of the front so you can see the "rock star" idea that I went with:




The back is done with the super-soft minky fabric again. However, this time I cut it all individually and X-stitched it to the front flannel for that quilt look:



The ruffled look on the front will only become even more ragged and soft with each washing. Here's one of the blanket all washed and folded up ready for baby:



That'll be it for new projects for about the next month. I need to catch up on some receiving blankets, burp cloths, scratch mittens and hats. I want complete sets for everything I've done so far. After that it will be on to something new. Now, what should I sew next...
