26" x 32"


Simple..Cuddly..Polka Dot..Warmth

This blanket will be your baby’s favorite. It is so easy to make.

Choose your favorite color and make one today! Or three! They are that easy!

They also make wonderful baby shower gifts.


Materials:

1 yard of a 54” colored fleece

1/4 yard of a 54” white fleece


CUT

From the colored fleece, cut:

2 - 26 1/2" x 35 1/2" rectangles


THE BLANKET

Trace 14 - 4" circles onto the wrong side of the white fleece. Cut the circles out exactly along the traced lines. Layout one of the colored fleece rectangles right side up. Place the white circles in the desired location on the colored fleece. Pin in place. Sew around the circles along the edge, on your sewing machine, using straight stitch and white thread.


FINISHING

Layer the two colored fleece rectangles, right sides together. Sew around the outside leaving a 4” opening, backstitching at the beginning and end.

Turn the blanket right side out. Hand stitch the opening closed.

Top stitch the blanket, 1” from the edge, using a straight stitch and thread that matches your fleece.

What a lovely blanket. Was wondering if you could help me in my search for your Traffic Jam fabric. Unfortunately, I took my time ordering from the Fat Quarter Shop and they have sold out of most of the range. Do you know of an online store that ships to Australia which has a reasonable selection left?
