Jessica Tag Quilt







I decided to try out making a tag quilt. Adam loves tags. It doesn't matter what stuffed or soft toy you give him. He'll search around until he finds the tag and then chew on that. I'd seen blankets and soft books in the store with tags around them and thought they were a really good idea because I knew that Adam would love them. So one day I thought I'd go buy one for a friend for a baby shower, but then I found out that the blankets were about $30 each. I decided that I could definitely make my own cheaper than that. I don't know if it was cheaper but I enjoyed making it. This one is for my new niece Jessica. I plan to make 3 more almost identical ones. I really like it because I feel like it is both a blanket and a fun toy. The fabric is flannel on one side and soft, furry fleece on the other. The tags are made of different types of ribbon, straps, and fleece scraps. It was really fun to make. I like the challenge of creating something new and this turned out great.
