little raw edged quilt

For a while I made flannel baby quilts

as gifts for all of our friends who had babies.

I am trying to phase this out,

combining my remaining flannel scraps into a few last quilts.

I decided to turn these pretty flannel scraps

into six inch squares

which I sewed wrong sides together

(talk about a weird feeling).

Then I clipped the exposed raw edges

and washed it,

creating a fuzzy, cozy, frayed-edged little blanket.

The clipping probably took as long as the sewing.

The back is made of a few green squares

and a lot of this vintage (?) pink print

featuring what appear to be tiny cat heads

sprouting from cotton plants.

(It's actually a little creepy.)

The colors worked, and I didn't have to spend money,

so I decided not to be too picky.

Cat head vegetation notwithstanding,

I love this little blanket enough that if the new baby is a girl,

I'm definitely keeping it!
