I made my first thing for new baby girl! One of the softest, most luxurious blankets ever! The pink floral is a velveteen by Anna Maria Horner. The other side is a super soft minky. I found it here at our local random fabric store. It is a giant warehouse full of all sorts of interesting treasures and a whole lot of well, you know.... stuff you never want. I found something similar over at Fabric.com. I love making things like this. Really isn't anything easier, and you get such a nice result! I took it downstairs to show everyone, and Felicity immediately declared that she was freezing and needed a blanket. Hmmmm.... I let her try it out. ;0)
I also got out my Turning Twenty quilt top that I made last summer. It is finally a quilt sandwich! I went to my mom's house and basted it there, since I really didn't have a big uncarpeted open space to baste this. I think I am going to keep the quilting simple and maybe just outline the blocks? I plan to quilt it here and there. It is such a big quilt that I don't want to burn out on it.
I also started a crochet pillow to go with the new bed quilt! I have had this pattern pinned on Pinterest for awhile now, and I am excited for how these colors are coming together!
Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend!
It is such a beautiful and warm gift for a baby girl, I liked it very much¡¡
