What was your inspiration?

Using up my stash.

What are you most proud of?

These are so cozy & pretty. My g-kids love them. They get fluffier with each washing.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Use 3 layers of cotton, at least 2 should be flannel. Don't wash them first. Don't use scizzors for snipping use snippers. This is a good size for a security blanket (16"). Any smaller and it's not a comfort to them. Any bigger & they'll trip on it when carrying it everywhere they go.
