A New Blanket

I made a blanket for my f18 month old granddaughter tonight. She ended up spending the night unexpectedly and Mommy didn't bring her blankie so in desperation I found a piece of silky lavender fabric left from not making bridesmaid's dresses for her mommy, and a piece of red/pink/white polar fleece with hearts to back it with. Not the most pleasing combination but it had to do. I cut 25" squares from the two fabrics, laid them wrong sides together and basted around the outer edges. Then I cut my own binding from the lavender silk, pressed it and hurried and sewed it around the outside edges. It was not elegant and I didn't end up turning the last two sides under but it worked. She only cried a couple of minutes and now she is asleep.
