Oh-So-Soft Baby Blanket

Hello, dear friends!

It's always such a blessing to have you here. . .

please know your visits and comments are a sweet gift to my heart.

For the past several months I have been busy making baby blankets.

Not for anyone in particular, mind you, but somewhere along the way I got hooked

and I can't seem to stop making them.

Not only are they perfectly sweet for a little one

they are also wonderful for adults.

You can adjust the size to a smaller or larger blanket. . .

whatever suits your purpose.

Every child is a different kind of flower,

and all together,

make this world a beautiful garden.

Here is how I whip one up in a short amount of time.

Supplies Needed:

1 yard of flannel or cotton fabric

1 yard of the soft swirl or minky fabric

fabric flowers {if desired }

cutting mat and ruler

Trim the flannel or cotton fabric to the size of the minky fabric.

Lay the two pieces of fabric right sides together and pin into place.

Make sure you smooth out any wrinkles

and watch the minky fabric as it is somewhat slippery.

Sew along all four edges.

And make sure you leave a small opening 

to turn the blanket right side out.

Once the blanket has been pulled out to its right side,

iron the edges on the flannel or cotton side-

don't iron the minky fabric.

Now top stitch along all four edges.

For extra sweetness I added some shabby roses

along with a fabric flower and rosette to the corner of the blanket.

As easy as pie, my friends.

Speaking of pie,

a slice sounds good right about now. . .with some coffee too :)

The blanket will be a nice size for a baby, toddler, or young child.

Even an adult could use it to cozy up with during a restful time.

Here are a few other blankets that I made reccently. . .

You will have a little bit of soft swirl or minky fabric left over

so why not whip up some baby burp cloths.

Here are a few that I made. . .

Or you can use the extra fabric 

to make a matching baby doll blanket.

Simple. . .sweet. . .thoughtful.

A gift that is sure to bless anyone,

young and old.

Love, hugs, and blessings to you, sweet friends!

Thank you for stopping by today.

Some of these sweet blankets are available in my Etsy shop
