Sweet Simple & Special


Sometimes it's nice just to finish a project in no time flat. What can be simpler than two rectangles sewn together to make a little baby blanket? Now that sounds dull -- but it's not when you get a couple awesome fabrics that speak for themselves!

This little blanket I made for my youngest neice today. The red roses on a bed of light blue are backed by a darker blue cotton chenille fabric. The print is a Liberty of London fabric, a silky smooth fine cotton. The chenille has a good weight to it, giving the blanket just enough heft to feel substantial, but still gentle enough for a little one.

I made one just like it for my youngest nephew too. The two haven't met yet, but when they do someday, they will already have one thing in common (other than the same aunt!)
