This Crafternoon: Taggie- Style Baby Blanket

I've been busy creating homemade birthday and baby shower gifts this week. For some reason, I thought it was a good idea to leave making these said gifts until the last minute.  I was so good about buying the fabric and finding the turorials early, but I'm just finding that life has kicked into hyper-speed now that I am living with a wild animal a toddler and I just finished them yesterday.  I made another dinosaur tail and a Taggie-Style Baby Blanket.   I used this totrial with a few modifications including cutting some of the ribbon so that they were not all loops, adding an extra zig zag seam on the edge to make the whole thing lay flat and increasing the size to an 18 inch square. 

With this Crafternoon project, I had the added challenge of picking some gender neutral fabric becuase the parents don't know the sex.  While I appreciate the romatic idea of being surprised when you meet your baby for the first time, I could never be that risky with my future.  I know that I will always have a preference for what gender I want the baby to be and I would rather be in the ultrasound and blurt out "A girl!?  Oh S*#t!" than in the delivery room face to face with my newborn child.
