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

Jennifer said...

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.

Wendyb said...

Oh Fiona...it's just so snuggly and gorgeous!!! I did print off the first set of instructions with full intent...... (oops....hahahaha) We know what happened there then don't we!? Love yours though.....be perfect for snuggles!

It has turned out so beautifully Fiona, well done my friend! Isn't it great to finish something and feel so proud of it?! Are not the eyes getting to feel a little spooky now, lol... x

Marg said...

That is beautiful. I'm not going to even look at the tutorial - have to finish the SKOW SAL project first.

Wendy said...

You're right, it IS perfect, absolutely beautiful and I love the addition of the embroidered butterflies.

Chris H said...

There is only one word for that blanket/quilt: STUNNING.

Maxine said...

Hi Fiona,
your fusion blanket is just beautiful, perfect for spring weather and the colours are lovely.

Wendy said...

Your quilket is so pretty, is that crochet joining the blocks together? Hugs Wendy

Marg said...

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!

Hey there Fiona,

Thank you for stopping by Sewing Daisies and letting me know about your version of the Fusion Blanket.

It is gorgeous - I love your fabric choices and those butterflies!

I hope you don't mind but I posted it onto one of Pinterest boards...
