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.
