Boy Blanket

This is the blanket I made for our baby boy. I wanted it to be boyish, but not babyish. The top is cotton and the backing is flannel. Sewing projects always cause muffled curses and sometimes tears for me but I am usually very satisfied with the outcome. I am sure one day it will be covered in spit-up and slobber, but for now it is a prized possession.

(I had a huge mattress pad on my side of the bed while I was pregnant which is why there is a weird ledge under the blanket.)
