The Craft Bits: Crib Quilt (F)

My friend Sharon had a baby in July. This would be her third baby and by the very nature of my staunch position that "every baby needs a blanket to call their own" this is also the third crib blanket I've made for Sharon's family.

The first one was a Noah's Ark theme, something I knew the first time mommy would love because she'd always wanted a nursery in that theme and it worked for her new little boy. The second one was a pastel and bunny blanket, sweet and darling...just right for the sweet little girl that was baby number two.


This blanket wasn't really made for mom, though I'm pretty sure she likes it. It's not baby bunnies, cute bugs, childish stick figures or polka dots (all patterns I've found in the past). This one surprised even me with how bold was. When I buy the backing fabric I don't go in with any ideas, I know what colors are in the tops because I always finish the top before I buy the back. I just go in, look-see what on the shelves and buy the one that says "I'm exactly what your looking for". This backing didn't exactly say that, it beat me over the head and shouted I am THE ONE.



From what I've heard this will fit baby number three just fine...she's a bit on the feisty side.
