I was packing an overnight bag the other day and nonchalantly telling hubby what I was bringing in it for Jade.
I showed him one of the receiving blankets I had made and blogged about in recent months. Suddenly, he chimed in with "doesn't she have a smaller blanket that is softer as well?" Huh...didn't think of that hon! As quilters, you know what happened next;) The wheels were 'a turning. Before you know it I was upstairs, in my sewing room Sunday, creating a soft blanket for our girl!
With some "pear" minkee dot and leftover Magenta Cuddle minkee, I pieced the back. The front is a butterfly print in flannel with a ruffle trim sewn on by moi! I used Aurifil in Blossom Pink for the top stitching around the entire blanket.
Little girl will be embraced in the softest blankie ever!!!!
*OH and it's been hubby approved! *
