Inspired by all the quilty goodness Melanie has been posting about recently over at A Sewing Journal* I decided to make a larger version of this blanket. And when I say make I actually mean choose fabric, wash fabric, fold fabric, admire fabric, and lovingly place in pile with other fabrics waiting to magically transform into sweet things.

It will happen soon though. That is what I am telling myself. No doubt with some help from the owner of that little hand you can see there.

The fabric is nani IRO Japanese Fuccra 2011 (top) and nani IRO Fuwari fuwari 2007 (bottom).
