Baby Blanket for... a Baby... Of Course!

No, I'm not making any announcements... other than I have finished making a baby blanket for Jason's sister.

Sure, little Mallory was born in January, and I started this blanket all the way back in October, but all I have to say it "Thank Goodness, it's finally over!" It was a lot of hand stitching, and I'm still not totally proficient with binding blankets, but I think its still pretty good.
















It's a little quirky, with wobbly edges, but I have never been one for measurements and preciseness.

















For the bottom fabric I just used a fleece blanket. I really doesn't hide my imperfections of hand stitching, but it definitely does give it a "home-crafted" look.















And here's a detail of the hand stitching.

I really like all the colorful fabrics. Hopefully it won't be color overload for little baby Mallory.

One more craft project off the list!

beautiful colors! Totally unique, just like you. And babies like bright colors so you should be just fine on that front.
