My latest creation.

Last year my sister in law announced the pending birth of my first nephew. We were all so excited to have another baby join our family. And I was even more excited to finally be an Aunt.
I decided to do something special for Nathan and I set out to make a blanket for him. It went surprisingly well and I really enjoyed the project.
Before you get all impressed know that I ended up finding a quilting kit at AC Moore. It made everything so simple. When I was done it wasn't perfect but it was something personally to give to my sister for the baby.
I went on to make two more blankets for my dear friend who was due with twins.
The first blanket I made was a bold mix of bright greens and yellows. For my second set I did a traditional baby pink and baby blue.
Well now I have two more cousins due with babies right around the same time. Yesterday I completed the blanket for the girl.

Here's the first row complete.

Here is the completed project.

This time I added batting to it to make it thicker and warmer. I also added edging and the quilting stitch. The kits directions are so basic, but as I do more of them I get better and feel more confident in my abilities. 

I can't wait to get started on the next one.
