Oh Baby: The Blanket Project

Category : Quick And Easy Boutique Baby Blanket, Swaps

I’m still working on baby items… of course, not for myself, but for my swap partner!


One thing she had listed that she wanted was a blanket, so in keeping with my Rocking Baby theme I made this:

Originally, I had planned on using a Minky for the backside, but most of what was available were pastel colors. So, I settled on a quilted black cotton – which went perfectly with the Skulls and Roses print I had selected for the front (selected from my stash fabrics). I think this actually worked out better since the batting provided a bit more loft without being too bulky. Too bad I don’t have enough left over to make one for myself – it’s actually a fun look!

That is awesome! I love the Rocking Baby theme-you can do so many different things with it.

I love that blanket! So much cooler than the normal ‘cute’ stuff. Although actually I think it’s pretty cute too.

Very cool! I like the nontraditional stuff. I have a friend who’s having a baby this summer – she’ll be getting a NASCAR blanket, hopefully using some Jeff Gordon flannel, if I can find it. But I love the skulls and roses.
