It's been a while since i have posted, I know, over a week!!! Well I have been very busy working on a baby blanket for my friend Miranda, who is expecting a baby boy in 4 weeks! I chose to make her the Mitered Square Baby blanket from the book "One Yard Wonders" (boy do i love that book!) It was a little hard, and time consuming, and i realized it is my first one and it was definitly not going to be perfect!! I ran into a few things, so good thing I bought more then a yard of the fabric! I did manage to make one PERFECT! block shown bellow:
There were so many seams!!!!
And it came out pretty well i think. She really liked it. I was also going to make her some Binky holders, but i have yest to fins dosme Fusable Vinyal any ideas? or i could jsut suck it up and order some PUL online. But she was very happy to get binkys, because no one gave her any at her shower, which I sadly couldn't attend.
The backing is a baby blue flannel!! its really cozy!!
She also asked me to make her some owl's for her baby boy's room. She wants some kind of fun wall art, or maybe softies to put on a shelf. the bed spread she bought has owls on it and she couldn't find anything to decorate the walls with. So any ideas are welcome!!
I have a lot of scrap and blocks that didn't fit together nicley left over so i plan on making her a few little pillows to go with it.
All this making baby stuff is making me want a baby!! I can't wait to have kids! (well I can a little bit longer, I am only 21)
Peace & Love J-me

It is a cute blankie...did you put a yo-yo on it...or no because it is for an infant?
no yo-yo its for a boy so, maybe if i made it into something cool, but i didnt think of that
Love it! I think it turned out great! I keep hearing such great things about that book - I'm pretty sure I need to buy it.
Looks so comfy and cozy, turned out great!
Okay, this baby is going to love this blanket! It's got so much to draw the eye to!
You win the "Hippest Baby Blanket" award for Friday's Finishes!
i have been looking at this blanket in the one yard wonders book. were all the seams very hard to work with?
I have that book also and started to make the mitered corner blanket only to discover that my multicolored striped fabric lost the best colors in the seam allowance when sewn into mitered squares! Yours looks great! Well done!
What a great finish. Your friend is very lucky. Flannel is so cosy.
Nice fussy cutting. Very mod baby look! :)
Those look great, they really do! There are so many owl crafty things out there, I am sure you'll find something wonderful to make!
Great blanket. What a unique block pattern. Thanks for sharing.
Love those stripes--great for a baby
