Some time ago, I was asked by a distressed Grandmother if I
could make a replica of her granddaughter's security blanket that had been
lost. It was made of cotton and satin squares and had a satin backing and
binding. The original was about 24" x 36". Ava and her Grandma were
pleased with the new blankie. I enjoyed making the satiny blankie and thought
there may be other little ones who like them. With Ava's and her Grandma's
permission I am now making the satin blankies and I am calling them the
"Ava Blankie".
Gramma's Ava Blankies are approximately 24" x 24".
They are made of 16, 6" x 6" cotton and satin squares with a
coordinating satin backing and binding. There is NO batting between the layers,
so they are very compact and take up very little room in a diaper bag. They are
basically for comfort, especially if the little one loves the satiny feel. They
are machine washable and dryable of course.
24" x 24" Blankies are $40.00 each
Also available are 24" x 36" Blankies for $48.00
and 18" x 18" Blankies for $30.00
(The number of squares changes, NOT the size of the squares.)
How to order your Ava Blankie (You need 4 fabrics for the front squares, a
satin backing, and a satin binding.):
Choose the size
Choose a lettered picture of a design you like or colors,
etc.
Choose 4 cotton or satin fabrics - I will assemble them in a
design.
If you choose a Cotton Solid Color, select a color to
coordinate and I'll match it to a print, etc. (Solid colors aren't shown)
Choose a satin backing
