First I have to apologize for the kind of crappy photos that were taken of this photo. Honestly I was just trying to take photos of this blanket as fast as I could before giving it to the recipient. This blanket was made for a sweet lady in my Mothers of Preschoolers group. I actually took the photos yesterday so that I could take the blanket to her today in hopes that it would reach her before she was due to have her baby and in time for our last MOPS meeting; however, it didn't make it quite in time since we were all pretty sure that she may have been in labor today. Now I'll just hopefully be lucky enough to not only deliver this blanket to her in person but to hopefully see that beautiful baby girl I'm sure she's holding by now.
I chose Riley Blake's Daydream fabric to make this quilt. I received more than I anticipated and with that it made it pretty easy to design the full 8inch squares of solid fabric and the 8inch squares mixed using four of the different fabrics I had in the bunch. Anybody that is wanting a quilt kind of like this one than please let me know because I have enough fabric to make two more blankets. I went ahead and ordered some extra fabric since I knew I was going to have enough to make the front of quilts. Please email me at the following address if you would like a baby blanket made with this fabric, christina@krochmal.net.
One thing that you may notice in the photos that I received last week. My new business clothing labels! They turned out so perfect, and I'm so happy to be able to mark my blankets with a little personalization. I'm also happy going forward with the number of projects that I've piled up for myself with all my friends and word of mouth that has gone out so far. At this point most of the blankets that I'm making are for word of mouth purposes. I'm hoping that putting this together in the name of Emily makes other Moms and their babies happy. So far that's what I've seen, and I think that matters the most of me.
Don't forget to follow my blog at the side of this page so that you can receive updates on what's going on at Emily Kay Designs.
Much Love,

The front was designed with fabric sewn into 8inch squares of fabric along with small fabrics sewn into fourths on one block.
I chose Riley Blake's sage floral fabric for the quilt backing
The new labels are now being placed on blankets and car seat canopies. Yay! A photo showing the blanket partially folded
