I really enjoy making flannel receiving blankets. I made a ton for my daughter when I was pregnant with her cause I had a broken foot and needed something to do. A friend of mine taught me how to crotchet. That was 5 1/2 yrs ago. I have loved crocheting ever since. I actually made this one a while ago. I love this fabric together and had to make a blanket with it. I have been holding on to it one because it is hard for me to give something I made that I love away and two because I just hadn't found the right person to give it to yet. I love to make my receiving blankets a little on the large size. It is nice to use on the floor with babies. I usually buy 1 1/2 yds and make a receiving blanket and burp rags to go with it. I made this one extra large because I bought the same amount of fabric and didn't take any away for burp rags. I am still not sure if I want to part with it yet but I am finally going to. I have probably had it for at least 2 yrs. I didn't get too fancy with the crocheting on this one like I have on others but I think it turned out great anyway. I used 2 different colors for the contrast. I love how that turned out. I will definitely be doing that again. I have another receiving blanket that I have cut and sewn together but just haven't crocheted it yet. I love the fabric on that one so much too. I will probably crochet it when I decide who to give it to. I have so many other ongoing projects that I haven't had the motivation to do that yet. So here I am sharing with you my gorgeous blanket. :)
