I'm so happy! I finished the blanket I wanted to make for my next door neighbor. Jackie's baby shower is NEXT Saturday and I finished this LAST night! That is so amazing for me! I put off doing this kind of thing until the night before! Guess this old girl's learnin' a thing or two about time management! LOL!
Here's the finished product. I turned the ends over a few times so you could see the reverse side. I'm happy with this except I struggled with that dang rick rack trim! It's so cute but I'm concerned that when it gets washed, the little edges will turn up. I actually started to stitch the edges but I realized that would have taken WAY TOO LONG. I'm a patient crafter but I do have my limits! Oh well, I went with a wide zig zag and can just hope for the best!
See ya!
I love this!!! Gorgeous:) She will love it.

So sweet and love the colors. Isn't it neat when you already know "it's a girl". I think the rick rack will be fine.

I just love it! I'm pretty sure babies love bright colors better than those boring old pastels. I love the rickrack, too.

What an incredibly beautiful blanket! Good job Shell.
And, speaking of baby blankies, I thought you'd like to know that the one you made Rylie will be her official "going home" blankie, as Tina says it matches her going home outfit perfectly!
