I LOVE making chenille blankets!
You all know this.
I have a good friend that is expecting a baby any day now.
In fact I think she was due a few days ago, as my friend said, "She is taking her ladies time".
I decided at the last minute to make a chenille blanket for her.
I always have one or two basted and ready to sew.
So I took the girly one and stitched it up.
I LOVE how great it turned out.
Love, love, love the dark pinks in this.
My tutorial to make one is on my tutorial page if you are interested, or
for a pieced back, you can find it on the Moda Bake Shop right here.
It was the only finish I can share.
I had another one but can't share it just now = )
My friend, Karen, is from Brazil.
She always calls me Flor (flower) and her son LOVES cats and so do I)
so I thought this back fabric was purrrrfect!!
I loved that the touch of orange in the backing fabric was picked up in the orange background of the chenille.
I have sooooooooooooo much more to share but I am exhausted so will share more tomorrow.
Have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend to all my US friends!

Oh I've always thought those would make a perfect baby blanket! So soft and interesting! And the colors are that one is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice! I guess I haven't seen a quilt made of that fabric before...soooooo CUTE.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. I am sure your friend will be delighted! Thanks for sharing. Stopping by from Crazy Mom Finish Up Friday. Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au)
ReplyDeleteI just pieced the back of another baby blanket from your tutorial for a gift this past week. Going to pick up the flannel today. I love your pattern and after this second one I know I will be making a third because youngest daughter is having another baby this next spring. Have a great holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful chenille blanket Pam! Great idea to have a couple basted and ready to go.
