Last week was a baby shower for a friend having a boy. I made her a flannel blanket.

With a car appliqued on the blanket.
With the red stitching adding some interest in the plain navy blue backing.
When I bought the bright striped flannel, I knew I had this navy blue flannel from my mom’s stash. I thought I had a couple yards of it. Turns out, I had 2 strips of about 12 inches by like 80 inches. Long. So I had the piece the backing for the blanket.
Then I made a matching bib and burp cloth and put a car silhouette on all three. Top stitched with red thread.
Pigg#1 got very excited when he saw it and tried to convince me we should keep it for Baby Brother. I love seeing him so excited on his brother’s behalf. I love the bright colors. That baby boy will hopefully love this blanket as much as Pigg#1 loves his. Which is quite a bit.
I love the bright colors!
Very cute! I really like the matching applique idea.
How cute that your little guy wanted to keep it for his brother!
