How very sweet! It is so nice of you to make these items for the benefit of others. I know they will be cherished by the new moms and dads.

That's the first thing I wondered about too. Your blankets are beautiful with the crochet scalloped edges!

Yes I used the Skip Stitch blade. Made the work go fast!

What size do you make your baby blankets? The scalloped edge sure dresses these up and your work is beautiful. So far I use only that blanket stitch on the edge of a fleece coverlet. It's pretty basic but a nice edge finish if you don't want to go to the extra work/time of the scallops. Making the holes with the perforating blade is imperative!

Thanks for your comments. These quilts I made 30x30.
