Baby Blanket 2

Here is the second baby blanket I made.  This is for my soon to be little nephew. I actually made it months ago, but his mom follows the blog, so I had to wait until I gave it to her before I could post.
While I am not thrilled he will grow up a Dodger fan, I am SO excited to have him arriving in our family!

His parents are big Dodger fans and I have know for years I would be making a Dodger blanket for their future babies. Lucky for me he arrived so fast! The backing on the blanket is a Dodger blue with little puppies.

One side note: When getting a block pattern cut at the store, be sure to ask if they can cut along the block line, instead of right at a yard. It makes life so much easier. And if you get someone like the gal I had who could care less about what she was doing, be persistent. If that doesn't work, as for another cutter.

Even though it is the year of the Rabbit, for me it is year of the Baby. I have 4 babies arriving this year and I couldn't be more excited about it!

One of our good friends is expecting her first baby and is a huge Padres fan so I made her a Padres fleece blanket. The backing is a light blue cloud pattern. I was so excited when I saw this in the store. They usually never have Padres fleece. It was almost like it knew I need some for a baby gift.

Fleece blankets are great because they are soft and durable. I know this will get lots of use. My friend and her husband went to a Padres game for their first date, asked for Padres Season tickets for their wedding and continue to go as much as possible. I can't wait to see their little one out at the Park at the Park.
