Service Project Blanket

Last month, the ladies in my church held a Service Auction. We were all supposed to bring items or write down a service that could be auctioned off with our "fake" money. Items included things like cleaning, cooking, babysitting, home decorating, etc. Originally, I had planned on having a finished baby blanket to take in, but with the chaos of my life surrounding Ryan's passing, I just didn't have time to get one made. So, I wrote down as my service that I would help teach someone how to make a blanket or I would make a blanket. Granted there were limitations. I told them that it would be a "block" blanket and simple because I am not a good seamstress.

Anyway, the lady that "purchased" my service had a little girl about 7 months ago. She wanted a warmer blanket for her daughter for the winter months. Another on of my specifications was that it would be a flannel blanket, so this worked out. She called me last week to place her "order." She said that she liked light blue and black. Therefore, away I went to the fabric store with the wheels turning in my head. Here's the finished product.


I did a reversible with the same pattern on both sides. I just switched the main colors around. I think it turn out really cute. I haven't gave it to the lady yet, so I hope that she likes it.
