Pink Elephants

I started to make Lydia a new blanket.  I've been feeling the need to make/organize/rearrange lately.  I decided that Lydia would need a new blanket to go with her new room decor, so I pulled out fabric I already had and started on a pink elephant, teal, and blue blanket.  Lydia wanted to help, and lo and behold, my girl loves to iron!!!!

I took advantage of that immediately, and she ironed all 35 squares for her blanket (fronts and backs!).  I was able to quickly throw this together:

The teal color in the four squares matches her paint color perfectly.

They were enthusiastic about posing with the new blanket.

The back of the blanket is a checkered pattern of blue flannel.  It's very soft and cozy.  Lydia loves blue, and there would have been more blue or teal on the front, but I was just using fabrics I already own.  She loves the elephants, too, though, so it worked out well.
