Baby Week Day Two

Yesterday I showed you what Baby Cream will be rocking on the way home from the hospital and today I will be sharing an adorable receiving blanket that Baby Cream can use in the hospital, on the way home, and many times once home. I have made this blanket several times for friends and loved the results. (You can see those blankets here.) So I just knew that I would have to make one for our baby as well. I used a tutorial provided by Elisabeth at Growing Your Home.
And here is Little Cream's blanket.
I used a cotton print for the front and a cotton flannel for the back. The jumbo ric-rac perfectly finishes the blanket off.
The size is perfect for wrapping baby up, covering a car seat, or spreading out on the ground or floor.
And the flannel backing adds just enough weight to keep it warm and from blowing away on a gusty day.
Perfect for baby cuddles!
