A few months before Katelyn arrived I was concerned that I wouldn’t get any blankets for her as gifts. Come my shower I had received just a few which of course isn’t enough for a baby who has spent many days in just blankets. But now it seems like I have an abundance of blankets. So here are some of my favorites and they are all so unique.
This one Melanie, my visiting teaching companion in CA, made for me. I love the colors and the little white flowers the she sewed on it.
This one I made. Super cute if I do say so myself.
This one was made by our Aunt Barbara. She also made a really cute pink hat. Unfortunately, Katelyn is not as fond of hats as she once was.
This one will be a fleece blanket that my dad is going to made for Katelyn. Or she’ll just have a piece of fleece fabric….we shall see.
This one my cousin-ish (don’t ask me the official term) Samantha made. I love how bright it is. It makes a perfect floor blanket. So cute. It just happened to have a super cute baby sleeping on it when I was taking pictures for this post.
This one my mom made in just a few days. All of Katelyn’s cousins will be jealous at how quick she got a blanket from Grandma.
This is what the back looks like. It’s pictures of nursery rhymes.
I also have another quilt coming from my sister. It’s really cute. She is having it machine quilted at a shop in Orem. I’ll post pictures of it when I get it back.
I never thought I’d need and use so many blankets. And these are just the ones that people made. There are a few more random ones like one of mine when I was a baby, a really nice one my sister bought me when I was just a few weeks pregnant, and some others. Gotta love baby blankets, right?
So, I totally have a blanket for you. The patchwork is finished, but I haven’t quite had time to quilt it… I was going to hand quilt it, but would you mind so much if I just quilted it using my sewing machine? Not as cool, but… this post made me feel guilty that I haven’t mailed it yet!
(I LOVE quilting, but the problem is, I only really like making girl quilts. So, that is why I made one for you – I have massive amounts of cute girl fabric, that I will not use for myself in the foreseeable future. And I can’t seem to find cute boy fabric that isn’t a little girly, and my boys aren’t even a little girly).
