Two More Blankets for Kinsley

I just finished a blanket I've been working on for about two months now for baby Kinsley. I just haven't been super motivated to make it for many reasons.

First the colors I LOVED at the store didn't look very great to me when I started piecing the blanket.

Then the squares weren't coming out exactly square OR identical....

And then finally the back piece I picked looked too boyish for it, even though I picked it out intentionally because it didn't look super girly.

But it's done.

I LOVE it!

And I think it is perfect for a little Spring baby!

I got the block pattern from here.



I don't really have a fancy machine(who am I kidding, it's super basic) and so the name was sewn with the button stitch. Not perfect but I think it's good enough for government work. :)





Blanket number two was made by my sister, Adrianna.

I can't tell if she really loves me a lot or if she really loves being an aunt. :)

Either way, she made this blanket for Kinsley WHILE watching Sadie for me.

She kind of rocks!

All I know is that I love elephants and this is the super cutest elephant print ever!
Plus there are little tags in the corner for a potential thumb sucker. :)

Plus she used this chenille fabric for the backing. So thank you Adrianna, I'm sure Kinsley will love it. :)
Can you see her name on it?


Here it is closer up. My sister has a sweet sewing machine!


Sadie was more than happy to pose in front of the blanket.

And no, she has no idea she's having a baby sister sometime soon. :) (We try to explain it to her but she just thinks all the new things are for her, mostly the pack N play and the swing.) I'm sure she is going to hate sharing Mommy for a while. :)
