Chenille Blanket

Whenever possible I like giving handmade gifts, especially to babies. So on Saturday, while trying to decide on a gift, I visited my local Jo Ann's in search of the perfect fabric for a baby blanket. I was drawn to the chenille fabric and was surprised at how heavy it was.After visiting with one of the ladies working the cutting table I decided to back the chenille with flannel; the two combinations worked very well together.

I must say I loved how nice the blanket felt when completed.
