Blankets

I always crochet a new blanket for the grand babies.  I finished Heidi's a while back but didn't want to post a picture of it, as it's a nice surprise for Jenn when she gets to see it.   We never know gender so I have to pick colors not knowing.  For Liam I did a white with some variegated colors.....for David I did purple.  This time I chose this rich yummy blue.   Its gorgeous and looks great even for a girl.    :)

Here's Miss Heidi with the blanket and big ole' yawn!

I also make a baby quilt which I can now show.  I don't do anything fancy since they get washed a ton.  The four patches use flannels that are in all three of the grand kid blankets.   The other print is new to this baby.  Again I was forced to pick a color........unfortunately I didn't find a neutral pastel in flannels locally and went with blue.....thinking we'd be welcoming a Peter and not Heidi.   Oh well.   Quilts for her from now on will be definitely feminine.
