Modern Mini Challenge
I think this is the SMALLEST quilt I have ever made. Last minute, Monday morning for the last day of entries. I, in no way qualified, but I have seen a few bloggers that I follow are finalists!
See HERE for more details!
Mickey Mouse Blanket
I have been wanting to make Button a "taggie" blanket since he was born. Every time I thought about it or started one, I would change my mind endlessly.
In the past few months it has become abundantly clear that he favors two fleece blankets. He either is two-fisting them or is walking with one in his hand and it trailing between his legs behind him. He really needed a small taggie to take along on our long jaunts in the cars...upward of 3-4 hours at one time some days!
This past weekend I realized a fleece blanket would be best, right?
This morning, it struck me how much he REALLY loves Mickey Mouse. He stops anything to watch Clubhouse, and he was playing with his Mickey stuffed animals. I love my Eureka moments...Mickey!
I am REALLY happy with the black fabric (from leftover sweat pants that are about 10 years old), but not in love with the beige knit. I couldn't find a good "peach" fabric in my stash. A good idea to start thinking about picking some up?
He LOVED it! He even had to hold it while watching some Clubhouse in the doctor's office waiting room!

In Progress:
Cream Throw
Remember how I had 132 5.5 inch squares cut from a daybed coverlet? Well, I decided to piece it. I was so sick of moving the basket around since I cut them out. So I have a TOP!!
It was a MESS too!! I didn't realize how stretchy it was. The jersey needle that I put in the machine became my best friend!
