Now, on to another fun baby craft!!

I am so excited about today's tutorial!! I have wanted to make a rag blanket for a long, long time.  But I always think of blankets as a mega-project.  But this one is a piece of cake!  And fun to make!

A few months back, I went to my dear friend Ann's baby shower, and we had a lovely time cutting the fringe and chit-chatting together.  She took home her blanket that day for her baby, who was born just a few days later! This was a super-fun baby shower activity.

I studied her rag blanket and realized I could make my own fairly easily.  So I taught myself how to make one.  (As usual, this tutorial is based on "my" own trial-and-error method!)  And if I can do it, then you can, too!  Here are 7 easy steps to create your own simple rag blanket:

Piece of cake, right??  Here are a couple more shots....

This is the back side of the blanket:

Perfect for my new nephew!

And why not use up the scraps by making some cloth blocks???

Isn't that fringe a-DOR-able?!
