Isn’t she gorgeous? The baby I mean, not the blanket. But, actually the blanket worked out pretty well too I think. This was a present for Baby H when she was first born. I chose a range of fabrics in lilacs, purples and lime green – a favourite combination of mine.
The blanket has a loose weave cotton on one side, a cotton corduroy on the other and the centre panel is a very soft Liberty print jersey. (Natural fabrics are always best for babies – breathable and good to sensitive skin.) I have covered the join between the 2 fabrics with a thin green velvet ribbon. If you look closely you can see I have just zigzagged it on over the top. All the fabrics I have used here are from Fabworks Mill Shop – they have a lovely selection of Liberty jerseys and cottons at a ridiculously cheap price.
Here is the tutorial I used to get perfect mitred corners – courtesy of Tie Dye Diva. You can find the link on my Pinterest page 
in the How to section.
I also made a set of matching bibs in the same Liberty jersey fabric – that bit of stretch is great for a bib for when they get old enough to start grabbing at it! So cute too. The possibilities are endless with baby stuff. It’s all about the fabrics you chose!
Thank you for a fantastic tutorial on mitred corners- they’ve always foxed me!
