Hit the Road Again

Dear sweet baby Daniel entered the world on October 5th.  I finished this blanket in early January, and gifted it for his birth Christmas just because in February.  Better late than never right?

The pattern I just created as I went. Fabrics are Riley Blake, Kona Cotton, and the blue stripe is from Hancocks.

The backing is a super soft red flannel and I made a tag for it using TLC Stitches tutorial which was very easy and yielded nice results.  Although after washing it did fray slightly on the ends so next time I will be sure to spray them first.

His mom, one of my best friends Meagan, snapped a pic with her cell, and all in all I think it was a success!
