Baby Blanket

I started this Journey into Domesticity  so I can learn from Martha how to make things for my family that they could love and enjoy.  The food is awesome but I really want to learn how to sew and make beautiful things for my daughter, family and friends.  I was not sure where to start as everything seemed so difficult to a beginner like me.  Then I found this Quick Quilt in the February 2000 Martha Stewart Living Magazine.  How much more simple can you get!?  I found this great patchwork fabric and some matching green chenille and bamboo batting, it is this luxurious batting blend that is made of 50%bamboo and 50%cotton. All I did was cut each of the 3 pieces of fabric, pin, and sew.  That's it! The best part is that it is soo soft and cuddly, it is Ella's new favorite and that makes me very happy!  I have officially found my new baby shower gift! If you are my friend and having a baby (Barb, Jamie) I have a blankie with your name on it!
