So I'm making three of these little dolly blankets for my friend's daughters. I have never done applique before, but I think these turned out quite cute. I am so pleased with myself because not just is the applique done by me, but the entire pattern is just from my head. I didn't follow any instructions! lol

So when I get the other two done, I'll post them, but what do you think of this? It's 22'' square!

I think you did a fantastic job - particularly without a pattern. I think you are on to something great here...I'm envisioning lots of pictures in the future!
