Voila! One sweet blanket.

Phew. It's done. The blanket that the Mommy has been thinking about for ages now. Some of you have heard about this blanket before. The Mommy has been wanting to make something for Isa's big girl bed for a while and when she saw this fabric she drooled (yes, drooled) over it. Oh, but it was backordered for months (which made her drool even more). But finally it came available again and the blanket making fun began in earnest. And now, much to the Mommy's delight, the blanket making is over! And we have one very sweet end result.

A little disclaimer: the pictures just don't do it justice. It's really very cute. But have you ever tried to take good pictures of a big, flat blanket? It's not easy, especially with a point and shoot digital camera. But I digress. The finished dimensions are roughly 3ft x 6ft and the back is lined with an old chenille dot bedspread. There are three panels: chocolate brown on the outsides, with the fabulous print in the middle. There are two appliqued animals on each chocolate panel-- an elephant, giraffe, bird, and turtle. Lots of character and high on the cuddle scale. Perfect. Love it. Can't wait to get it home. Ahhh. Snuggle snuggle with a goose and her new blanket. Here it is...
