It's perfect......

............... and ever so soft and cuddly .........


My fusion blanket is done.... I started with doing some of the butterfly stitcheries on the blocks.....


the other side of the blocks is this pretty flannellette....


It really is one of the softest snuggliest that I have made... not quite a quilt but not a blanket either.....
.... I think I'll call it a quilket......

If you have been wondering about making one of these... go ahead... sooooooo lovely..

.. I will be doing this again....

the tutorial is HERE - the original design being by Sewing Daisies... thank you

Righto, Gotto Go......

those eyes are still watching me

    Your quilket is very pretty! I saw this idea more years ago than I can remember, in a craft magazine or book - only it was for a cushion rather than a little blanket. I cut it out and always meant to make one, but must have thrown it out in a clean-up.

    Oh, no! I re-visited your page and LOOKED at the tutorial. Already thinking about my charm packs and which one would work best! It's too gorgeous not to. Oh, well, this is the stuff of addictions, isn't it. I look at it this way - quilting/sewing may not be cheaper than illicit drugs (not that I have any idea of the market in this area) but it is healthier!
