A baby-pink blankie!

Oreo and Hazel Balestorm ordered a baby blankie for their newborn human cousin!

Initially, Oreo wanted to purchase Sailor Bear but I thought it would be far too big for a newborn baby. Sailor Bear is meant as a big blanket or a bedspread – it’s especially big too (63 in by 87 in). So I suggested that I’d sew a baby-blanket for their cousin.

Hazel wanted pink and purple while Oreo wanted red, so I searched from our stash and voila…

This lovely pink kitty cloth, from Ms Ooi!

It’s very soft cotton, perfect for a baby blankie.

Then I searched for matching cloth to make a Classic Squares.

I chose this pink chequered cloth.

Here we go – all ready. It’s about 38 in by 30 in.

And isn’t it a happy coincidence that we have this pink flannel which is just enough to be sewn as the backing. Really, “just” enough!

My mum sewed the backing.

And the blankie is all packed and ready to be posted tomorrow!

Thank you very much, Oreo, Hazel and their Mama, for their kind and generous donation of RM600 for this baby blankie and three boxes of Monge!
