A Baby Blankie

The women in my family worked up this baby blankie for our newest addition, Baby Kaitlyn. Since my 11 year old niece and I were the only current knitters (knitted in the past 12 months) we decided to make a blanket of squares. Mom and sis picked up the needles and refreshed themselves as the helped to create this soft, 100% organic cotton, keepsake.

Little A finished it off with a fabric label that hopefully will stand the test of time. Here's how it is done: we cut a piece of fabric and a piece of butcher paper to the 8 1/2 x 11 size for printing. Ironed the fabric on the shiny side of the paper and ran it through our printer. We then removed the fabric and ironed fabric laminate on both sides of the fabric. We cut it to size and stitched it on the blankie.

A great family project. As much fun to make as it was to give!
