This Wednesday, I made 22 baby blankets and then two more on Thursday. I didn't MEAN to make that many--I just had this ginormous flannel stash for baby blankets, and my serger was finally working, and I had three or four babies to make blankets for.....
Anyway, now my baby gift stash is replenished. These are just simple, single layer blankets that are serged around the edge, so all I had to do was square up the fabric, do a little cutting and then finish the edges.
All the girl blankets
All the boy blankets
These are made of stretchy knit. They are really great for a lightweight swaddle that stays snug.

Cotton/microplush
Microplush is a beast to work with, because it's slippery and stretchy. On the right, I did the traditional method where you sew right sides together, turn it inside out and topstitch. On the left, I left the wrong sides together and just serged all the way around. I think it actually turned out better that way and looks neater.
These blankets are on reserve for my sister Maria, who is due in a few weeks with a baby girl.
And these were for Monica's beautiful baby girl, who was born yesterday!
Isabelle and I brought the blankets and some roses down to meet her last night.

She is so precious and we are thrilled that she's here!
