I love cut chenille baby blankets!  Layers of flannel are sewn into lines across a pretty cotton fabric.  Cut, bound and ready to wash …

it frays up so nicely into a thick froth of chenille.

This style is so easy that it would make a great first quilt for a new quilter, yet it makes a plush, incredibly soft blanket.

This type of blanket is perfect for those fabrics you like so much, you don’t want to cut them up. Show them off!

You can see more about cut chenille blankets here.  In the near future, I hope to make another one of these for a little sports-fan-to-be!
