I'm making some cute little flannel baby blankets out of Amy Butler's new line, "Love". The flannels are beautiful - my picture doesn't really do these two fabrics justice. They are very soft and lovely in terms of coloration. You can see them at Amy's site: http://amybutlerdesign.com/products/fabrics_love_top.php

This is basically just one yard of each pattern, cut each into a 35" x 33" rectangle and sew together. I found it was easiest to put the flannel rectangles together (right sides together of course) and then iron them together - flannel creeps and it's easy to get them off. If you've cut them perfectly the same size, then just match the edges and pin.

After you stitch together (leave a 4-6" unsewn section so you can flip it rightside out), you can round the corners using a bowl of small plate as a guide - just draw the curve and then stitch along the curve - trim. Turn the blankie rightside out and iron the seam edge. I then used a decorative stitch along the edge to add interest.

I'm also just wrapping up a quilt for my nephew Noah (I'm late with getting this done for him), it's on its way to quilting & ready for Christmas I hope! I love these doggie designs by Lorelei. She has great little designs - very whimsical and humorous. I'll probably make at least two more of these doggie quilts in the near future.
