As some of you know, I'm new to ME (one year), but I'm learning a lot and love this site for info. Thought I'd show you a play blanket (to call it a quilt would be an insult to those of you who really know what you're doing). I found the designs on the Free Designs at Ann the Gran alphabets under Animal Alphabet. I stitched out each block and was going to put it in a book for my twin grand daughters (1 yr old), but made it into a play blanket instead with colorful fleece on the back. Don't look too closely (some blocks don't line up exactly), but my audience loved the blanket!! Thanks to all for all your help and thanks to Ann the Gran for all the cool designs and info. I haven't gotten into digitizing yet and will be asking for info on recommended programs later on that.
