    I've been working on new quilt blankies for my kids, I call them quilt halfies. One side is quilted, the other is one piece. I thought of it one night when I needed to relieve stress, but didn't feel like doing all the labor. Not to mention, the kids kept asking me when is "MY" blankie going to be done mom? I hope you like them. Francesca's is not done yet.
    I can't fit Johnny's in here, but it's cute for a 2 year old.
