Baby Blanket

This is a blanket I put together quickly for my pregnant SIL. She is having a boy and I had a tough time finding fabric that I loved in the flannel. They live in Florida so fleece would have been too hot so I wanted flannel and the fact that it was on sale for half off was also a motivator. Well finally at the end of the row I saw this ADORABLE pattern. They also happened to have there soft, plush fabric on sale for half off and they had this vivid green that was perfect. I knew I wouldn't have time to make a true "quilt", even a simple one since I only had a handful of days before we were leaving so I just cut 2 squares the same size, sewed them together right sides facing out, and then sewed a satin quilt edging around it. The edging is actually almost the exact shade of the back but I guess since it's shiny the color didn't photograph well. Came out well and was SUPER CUTE. Best part is I got it finished in time to take with us down there. My son was a bit attached to the fabric so there may be one in a larger size in his future but we shall see.
