This may seem somewhat "juvenile," but I wanted to make a book cover for my scriptures. Every Sunday, they get thrown into my church bag with my other books I have to take to church. The corners on them were starting to wear and look haggard. I love my scriptures, and I didn't want them to break or ruin sooner than need be. I thought this was the best solution. The color is not my first pick but I love the way the cover turned out.

Orange Chevron Baby Blanket
Even though it is a lot more work, I LOVE making chenille baby blankets. I love the look of the "quilted" top and the "ragged" backs. I knew for quite awhile that I wanted to do a Chevron stripe one. It just took me awhile to find fabric I liked.
Here is the completed blanket. The back fabric was "earth tones" with brown, green, and yellow. My only regret with this blanket was that the green and yellow didn't show up in the "ragginess" more.
As a whole, I love it!

Girly military Camo blanket
I really wanted to do something with camouflage. It might just be the country in me, I don't know, but I really wanted to complete a camouflage blanket. I knew that I didn't want it to be a "dark" blanket though. I saw this idea for ragged stacked blocks and I knew it would be perfect. I love the "ratty" look and I think it turned out cute. :)
