Well, I haven’t been actually hand quilting these past three weeks, but as I reported last time, I have been working on a baby blanket for a new grandson who is due any day now. Yea!!!
I am happy to say that it is complete and waiting to wrap around a cute little baby. Happy smiles and more happy smiles here:)
I designed this little afghan as a Sensory Blanket. There are lots of textures and holes for little hands to feel and explore. I must admit that I am addicted to running my hands over it too. Lol!
I added some crocheted “taggies” to the bottom and top edges as well. I think they add that cherry on top to the blanket
All in all- I can say I have finished zero paper pieced stars, but have used my evening stitch time to finish one fantastic sensory blanket! Isn’t it great?
Now, all I can do is fold this little blanket up and wait and wait and wait….. maybe next week!
It’s a wonderful day! Thank you for stopping by:).
