ROOTIN' TOOTIN' ONE HOUR COWBOY BABY BLANKET

I am so glad that I have had the opportunity to sew a couple of flannel baby blankets this summer! A lovely, talented friend in town recently had a baby boy so made her a whale-themed blanket here.

The oldest daughter of a local family very dear to my heart is expecting a baby boy on September 1st. The family and the in-law family are ranchers/farmers so I naturally wanted to find fabric with a Western flair or cows or horses, suitable for a little buckaroo.

However, as I have written before, there isn't a lot of fabric choices in our small town. Our Walmart is currently undergoing a full remodel and fabric is slim pickings. I was fortunate, however, to find just the right fabrics on Michael's website! I was even happy with the quality of the flannel, even after washing. No pilling and no shrinkage.

I really love the colors and the little cowboy! The backing material has cute sayings: "Hey Cowboy!" and "Hey You!"

Cute!

I used red thread as to coordinate with one of the colors in the fabric. I used the same thread to add a decorative zigzag stich to finish.

I really had fun sewing this blanket and it went together quickly. For full instructions with plenty of step-by-step photos, please click HERE.
