I recently dug out a cute baby boy blanket kit that I have moved from coast to coast over the last several years. I decided there wasn't a better time than now to actually break it out and make it. With a couple of my cousins having baby boys soon, it will make a great gift.

Fun and Simple Baby Blanket
I have long been a collector of fabric and quilting supplies.... much longer than I've actually been a quilter. Now that I'm settling down a bit, I am spending much more time sewing and teaching myself to quilt from YouTube videos. Believe it or not, there are actually some very useful videos there!

Technically, there wasn't really any quilting. The top was simply pieced together and then sewn to the flannel backing. I top stitched it and did a little "in the ditch" stitching to keep it from shifting about too much.
I like the way it turned out and it's given me a little boost to take on more complicated projects, so stay tuned to see what's next!
