I finally dusted off my sewing machine after a month-long break and I am definitely out of practice!

One of the things I made was this flannel baby blanket for part of a shower gift. I am pretty sure I have seen a little saying about using your "good fabric" for your favorite people. I had been hoarding this pretty purple stuff because I couldn't bear to part with it unless I deemed the recipient worthy.

I used my own tutorial to make it, but I tired something a little different this time. Instead of doing diagonal lines, I decided to create a giant flower motif that matched the front pattern. It is pretty hard to see...

I really love the print on this!!!

I did a decorative stitch around the edge that matched the ferns, but was too lazy to change my presser foot. I spent A LOT of time seam ripping the one full side I sewed before I realized it didn't look right. But, I like to pray for the recipient as I sew/seam-rip, so this little girl got a lot of extra prayers!
