receiving blankets for a small babe

After finishing the quilt, I put some receiving blankets together for one of the gentlemen at work.  He and his wife are having a small boy in September.  Most of the blankets for sale are just so pastel.  I like brighter colors.  So do babes.  And these are soft.  Small Mister would hold on to them tight.

Actually, Small Mister would have stolen the orange polka dot blanket if I had it shown to him.  I do not know many of this babe's Momma's interests but I did know a few of his Poppa's.  I kept that in mind when picking fabric.  They turned out very nicely.
