My little friend Tawny came over to practice her sewing skills. She has a beautiful baby sister named Eva. Tawny thought it would be nice to make her baby sister a blanket like the one we had made when she first started to sew, years ago. Luckily, I had saved all of the scraps!
We made a pattern in the shape of a heart, then started cutting out flannel squares, two layers thick. One by one, Tawny made a pattern of prints and began sewing them together. When we had enough squares, we trimmed the blanket into our heart shape. We also clipped the seam allowances, so that it could fray in the wash.
After a nice soak and fluff, here is the final project....notice the cute little girls snuggled together. It makes my heart feel as big as a flannel patchwork quilt.
