Blankie #1

Here is the first big item that I finished - a baby blankie for our dear friends Jared and Sarah + new baby. My favorite part was weaving the satin ribbon along the edges and making the bows. The pattern called for putting buttons on the corners - and I found some really cool blue-green swirly buttons - but someone mentioned them being a choking hazard - so I opted for the bows, which I sewed down.

I had a lot of fun designing the gift tag too. I wish I had more doo-dads to decorate it with. I also wanted to attach the 'care' directions on the backside. Didn't get that far, but maybe for the next project/gift!
