th boy...so they kinda have all the baby stuff they "needed" for him. Well...you can never have enough blankets...and I had something I wanted to try...so I went for it. But I'm first going to show you the card I made...

I love the "Fox and Friends" set and I think the whale is my fave image. :) And add some layered punched images, and you have a fun focal point. The color combo is Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Pear Pizazz, and Marina Mist. Here is a close-up...

Do you not LOVE the
dino fabric! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! And have to say...again...I do NOT sew! This was a BIG project for me to do! (And just hoping it doesn't fall apart! :) I washed it a few times before I gave it to them and it didn't so hopefully it won't! :) ) But I had this idea to make a bigger scallop with the 5" scallop square die. And it actually worked!!!!! I just folded a fabric square in half both ways, and laid it so it only cut out 2 of the scallop sides. Then unfold the scallop square and you have about a 9" square!!!!! I LOVE LOVE the versatility and how well it worked! It worked out better than I thought it would. Then I just sewed all the scallop squares together and you have this fun rag quilt! Here is a bit of a close-up...

And I realize you can't really tell the size of the squares...but again..it's about 9" square. And here it is all wrapped up ready to give to them...

Now I need to make my own to keep! It was quite fun to make! The only hard part was giving it away!!! :) But that is also the fun part as well! : )
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!!!
