Anyone else suffer from not doing something the easy way? What started as a simple maybe hour project turned into a reather large project. Youngest grand daughter LOVES to tuck a blanket next to her cheek to go to sleep. I decided since I knew we had some scrap satin type material that was given to us to to use it and make her a "blankie". Once I had the material dug out I discovered there was quiet a bit of it. Most in pinks, purples, but some other colors. I had a brain storm or something. I decided that since I had so many all the littles would love one!
I cut squares about 14x12, I decided on 3 squares by 4 squares. They won't be huge, but will be easy to drag around. I have all the tops made and one completed. I started with the grand daughter I planned on making for.
I think she likes it! She was so sleepy. I was holding her and she leaned over into the blanket and just laid there. She didn't go to sleep, and in a bit she sat back up.
I am very pleased at how it turned out. I hope the others turn out the same way. I have one color binding I don't think I will use. I ask DIL to pick me up 4 blanket bindings, any color. She did awesome on three, but the bright red just doesn't fit any of the colors in the blankets. I can't decided if I want the binding to be bright and stick out or go with a milder color. Of course it may depend on when I get around to finishing, before or after a town trip.
I may save the red for a binding on a blanket for the new grand son arriving in Nov.
