My little nephew needed warmer blankets for nighttime, so Mom offered to make him some. It really was quite funny putting together the combinations with the fabric we already had. We wanted them fairly quick, simple, warm enough, and bigger than normal baby blankets so he can use them for several years.
I like teddy-bears, but they have to be done just right. I remembered having this striped flannel fabric that I thought looked like an "engineer" in my stash, so I dug it out and I knew it *had to go* with the teddy-bears. They're perfect together.
I put cotton batting between them and started quilting. After a few tests, I decided that I liked quilting little ovals around the lady-bugs best. It took me several days with help from a few sisters, but we were able to finish it just in time.
I really think that it will be my favorite!

We LOVE the blanket! It is positively adorable and it does keep Little K quite warm at night. He and I thank you profusely! :-)
Wow, that is cute! :D
You're most welcome, fogwood.
Thank you, Hannah!
Quilting around all those little lady bugs was perfect for getting through Horatio Hornblower. Pooor Kennedy. Sigh.

No. It's "Pwoor Kennedy". ;-)
