Although some parts of this project were a little more tedious than others (cutting circles, pinning!), all in all, I enjoy sewing and I really enjoyed making this.
And even though the directions warned me that it would be heavy, I decided to make it about 85" x 90". And, good Lord, it is the heaviest blanket, ever!! Jake used it for a couple of nights, and rated it a two thumbs up. Then I was resting on the sofa with it, and got so sleepy, I couldn't get up. I think it's the Magic Blanket of Sleep. I really like it.

Winnie the Pooh - this was one of Jake's receiving blankets.
I decided to experiment with a shape, and got this butterfly.

It's bee-yoo-ti-ful!
ohmygod, that is amazing! Well done!!
Laurie, that is amazing. And the special meaning it will always hold for you is too cool.
I love it!!
So stunning! You did a wonderful job.
Did you use stuffing or batting???
Nope, no stuffing batting. The denim makes it very heavy and I didn't want to add more weight or bulk to it. You could put batting behind the flannel squares if wanted, though.
