'Tis springtime, and my thoughts turn to...
...baby showers! Well, I haven't been invited to any yet, but some local friends are having babies this year, so it's a possibility. Anyway, I enjoyed making this little blanket with heart-warming pajama flannel from my stash. I consulted these instructions from Cluck Cluck Sew for constructing the blocks. Connecting unfaded red flannel with white was risky, of course. But I countered the risk with Shout Color Catcher sheets. I washed the blanket four times, with a new sheet each time. The sheets turned progressively less pink, until the last was not pink at all. The bleeding was contained to a few small pink spots on the back near some of the ties. That's nearly miraculous, in my book.
I hope this will keep a future baseball player (or popcorn eater, at least) cozy and warm!
