If you saw my previous post you were able to see everything I have made thus far for Baby Alton. I decided to throw one last thing into the gift bag and used the tutorial found on Pink Suede Shoes website. It is called the Mitered Corner Baby Blanket.
I originally found this blog after seeing the baby blanket Jaci made for Lindsay at the baby shower for Eli! Jaci advised me that the tutorial is not 100% written and some parts you have to figure out for yourself. Sure enough, I did not understand it and had to have my loving Husband help me with it! The hardest part is the mitered corners but everything else about the blanket is easy!
I added Alton’s name as well as appliqued some stars on the blanket to give it a little more spunk.
I bought the guitar fabric at JoAnn’s the day after Thanksgiving and unfortunately only bought 1 yard of it. After making the blanket I REALLY wish I would have bought more because wouldn’t you figure, I cannot find it anywhere! I really wish I did buy more so I could have made a matching set of gifts!
Oh well, you live and you learn right?!
What do you think? Pretty cute if I say so myself!
Loving the stars. What a nice touch :0)
