I love this baby!


I made this faux chenille blanket for my niece. Ugh, she's adorable. You can barely see the quilt through all her cuteness I know! These faux chenille blankets are so easy to make. I took five one yard cuts of flannel. All are layered up except for the backing which is layered face down. Then you pin the heck out of it and sew diaganolly every 1/2". Surprisingly, it goes pretty fast. I think I finished the sewing in about an hour. Then I have a chenille cutter and it just zips right through. I only cut the top 3 (leaving the fourth layer and backing uncut). Next I rounded the edges and attached binding. I think I want to make more and more and more. So simple and they just look so soft and fuzzy.

That is such a great idea...and it would look darling with a simple crochet lace border! Definitely going to try it!
