Forget baby blue and bouncing little bunnies…it was time my son had a man-blanky! I saw this pin-up girl fabric by Alexander Henry and just had to use it.
And whaddaya know, it also sort of has a Pacific Northwest theme to it with all of the evergreens and outdoorsy images. Being from the great Northwest, it was a no-brainer that I’d end up buying it. 😉
This man-blanky is definitely baby AND daddy-approved!
Here’s an old tutorial on how to make a baby blanky…although the man-blanky’s are totally in right now.
Hint: In your tutorial you mention cutting off the selvages. Better idea – go to the blog "The Q and the U" and see the awesome stuff Riel Nason has done with her selvages. You may never throw away a bit of selvage again!
And your baby blanket is brain-meltingly CUTE!
loving the selvage mummy! Thanks for the helpful hint. I hate seeing fabric go to waste!
I **love** this. Hubby would too!
What a fun quilt! I just used the firemen, Christmas and cowboys pin up prints by AH Fabrics to make pillowcases for some friends for Christmas!
I have the fireman print too – it's so detailed! ;-p beautiful, fun and unique fabric!
That is so cute and your son is adorable!
Thank you! Love your Corgi btw 😉 I have two!
