Blanket versus Quilt

When I was making the baby stars quilt for Leo's baby shower, my daughter wanted to make a baby blanket for him.  She was very clear that she would make a blanket - not a quilt.  While my sister and I are quick to point out that we quilt but do not sew, my daughter will quickly clarify that she does not quilt.

She went shopping through my fabric stash and selected the blue flannel Children at Play paper airplanes and the soft Snuggle in blue.  I helped my daughter a little here and there when she had an issue (that Snuggle fabric really slides), but she insisted on making the blanket herself.

She did a fabulous job, and the baby blanket was a hit at the baby shower.

The blanket is a hit with Leo too!  He loves being snuggled in the blanket made by his Auntie!

This girl who says I have an unhealthy obsession with Leo has his baby picture as her iPhone wallpaper and likes to check her phone just so she can see his picture ;-)
