A baby gift

My BFF, Erin, is having another baby, a boy. I wanted to make the baby something but didn't know what since I knew Erin, her MIL, and maybe her Mom were all going to make quilts for the baby. I knew I wanted to make something else. I decided to make the baby a stuffed animal. Spot, is from this book. I used buttons as the eyes since I didn't like the felt they had in the pattern for the eyes. I love buttons.







The colors Erin is going for is orange and turquoise. I found some great flannel and made this blanket with a silky binding. My Mom always makes these blankets and I even still have the one she made me when I was born. The blanket is 42 x 42 inches, a really nice size.





I also made her a crib sheet from the orange with white dots flannel and a receiving blanket with the turquoise flannel and green dot. It was really great to work with flannel and I have become a fan.
