Quick and Easy Blankie!

As its been warming up, I have wanted to make a lighter blanket for my son.  He has a nice warm quilt grandma made when he was born but its just getting too hot.
So we stopped at Hobby Lobby the other day and bought some soft flannel and gingham.  I LOVE this gingham.  It is so soft and silky-like!


I cut the 2 pieces of fabric the size I wanted and pinned them right sides together.   Sewed around the edges, leaving a small opening, then turned it right side out and pressed the edges.  Then I top-stitched all the way around the edges to finish.

This was so easy!  And my little guy loves it!  In fact, he was playing peek-a-boo under it while I tried to take his picture.
