Baby Blanket

I made this blanket with a yard of fleece and a yard of flannel using the method 

described in this blog post.  Then, as I was cleaning up the scrap fabric I had the idea to cut out the letters to personalize it for my niece Gia.  I wasn't totally sure how it would work, so I did a test first.  I loved how it turned out.  So I cut out the letters and pinned them down.

Then I sewed around the edges of the letters.  Then I cut as close as I could to the edge I just sewed.  Then I washed the blanket.  And the next day I took it as a gift to newborn Gia in the hospital!
