Fit for a Girl!


A good friend of mine made me a quilt for our little girl, who is coming any day now. It is purple (my favorite color) and very cute.

She had a lot of leftover fabric so I have been able to put it to use. First, I made a fitted flannel crib sheet. It was easy. I used this website and Amy Butler's Little Stitches for Little Ones as my guides.

I still had enough leftover fabric to make this cute little flannel blanket. She will be so cozy this winter.

I also used some of my flannel from my fabric stash to make her a little brown owl blanket.

These blankets are super easy and just the right size. You get two pieces of flannel, about 44-inches wide by 1 yard long. Sew the pieces together with the right sides together leaving a gap for turning. Turn in right side out and zig-zag around the edges. That's it. Perfect baby gift.
