Baby Blankets

My Stake is having an Enrichment called "Think Baby". Members of our Stake are asked to donate anything that a new mother would need for their baby, i.e. onesies, food, blankets, hats, pacifiers, etc. There are quite a few women in this valley that don't have any money for baby supplies. This Enrichment is designed to help those mothers get a fresh start with their new little one. Since I got my sewing machine, I have been so excited to sew something amazing. Well friends, I finished one girls blanket and one boys blanket with a bunch of material scraps that a Sister in my ward brought as her donation. Here are some pictures of them. I thought they turned out so cute! I was tempted to just keep them for when I start having kids. :) But I figure that I'll be blessed for donating my time in making them and I can easily make another blanket when I have a baby. Tell me what you think about them!!

I'll start with the girls blanket:


The last one shows you how both sides look the same. It is kind of hard to see where I folded it over :)


Here's the boys blanket:



What do you think??
