Baby Blankets

Jungle prints are very popular now as a baby theme. This fabric was selected for a friend who is not planning to find out in advance whether she is having a boy or a girl. My troubleshooting thread set makes the perfect combination for this particular fabric. It is almost invisible because the colors blend so nicely.

Cotton flannel is one of the easiest fabric to sew. It is also a comfort fabric and evokes pleasant memories. Choosing fabric and making receiving blankets for friends having babies is enjoyable and satisfying. I made my own pattern so that the blankets will fit the standard hospital bassinette.
