My aunt asked me if I would make a baby blanket for a friend of hers. I had been itching to make this Purl Bee blanket for awhile, so we decided on this pattern. The family is in Arizona, and we agreed flannel might be a better choice than fleece.
I followed the pattern exactly except that I basted the ric rac on before sewing everything together. It was my first time using ric rac, and I was a little nervous about getting everything to line up. The basting worked perfectly and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
The only thing left to do is give it a good ironing, but I’ll do that just before shipping. Right now it’s staying folded in a plastic bag. The flannel is like a magnet to all of the colored, loose thread bits I’ve got floating around!
Did you make something yourself? Post it here!
I love the blanket and it turned out perfectly. Check and mailing info are in the mail. It’s wonderful to have a crafty niece! I am so pleased and I’m sure Baby Boy Paul will be too.
Very pretty. Would make a wonderful Christening blanket.
Nice job, Jul.
That blankie turned out really nice! The flannel will be nice and cozy in the air conditioned environment of Arizona! :)
