Baby blanket

This is the project I have been working on for the past 3 weeks and I completed it today. My ring finger swollen so badly that it hurts all the times now. I suspected it's caused by fabric cutting using the metal scissors. I can't sleep last night due to the pain. I know it sounded a bit exaggerate but it's true.

This picture was taken when I was half way doing the hexagon stitching , hand sewn.



The size of this blanket is approximately 36X40. It can last until baby is around 4-5 years old. :D Other than the top piece, the rest of it were sewed using sewing machine but I used invisible stitch (hand) to close up the hole that left to turn the fabric to it's right side after sewing the pieces together.




This is the back of the blanket. I actually sewed a layer of thick flannel in sandwiched between the top and backing. It is weird to get a batting here in Malaysia since the weather is not as cooling so I just inserted a flannel it there. I washed the flannel before sewing to reduce the possiblity it will shrink after washing.
