I decided I wanted to make a baby blanket for the baby our pastor and his wife were fostering. I had had these receiving blankets with Ethan Jay and wanted to use them somehow for something else because we had so many blankets. I love how soft they are and love the patterns on them, elephants, stripes and polka-dots, what's not to love! So I choose to combine them into a quilt. I had never quilted before but there's always a first for everything! I used some blue and green baby flannel that I had to fill in and got to work. I started working on it when he was born and sadly enough am just finishing it up! I would work on it one afternoon and then it would be 2 or 3 weeks before I would pick it back up again. Poor thing is 4 months old and I am just finishing it up! Well, I will say, I am no master quilter, but am pleased that it is finished and is in one piece! It looks a bit worn using the receiving blankets, but I think that is part of it's beauty. Hopefully this little one will love it just as much!
