This is my first time to post a picture. I made this blanket this weekend for DD whos little one is due in Sept. I used six inch squares of stars and hearts patterned flannel and no batting. It is small for a newborn. It was fast and fun to make. Now that I have a digital camera and hope I have this all figured out I will post more of my projects in the future.

I love it. Looks like a warm and cuddly blanket. Can't wait to see more of your work.

Your blanket is so cute. I really like NOT using interfacing with my flannel blankets. Two layers of flannel is warm and pliable--soft and cuddly.

your baby blanket is lovely..wish i had seen yours before i started making mine...i will definitely make a raggedy blanket next as you have inspired me. Did you use the spring loaded scissors to cut your fringe as i have heard that normal scissors hurt your hands? I have been looking at some for a while and am saving my pennies (dollars!) for the fiskars ones as they are pretty expensive.

It is really beautiful! I can picture a little babe snuggled within. I want to make one too! Is your backing a white flannel as well?
