Sara ordered a baby pink dottie swaddle blanket from our etsy shop and wanted a car seat blanket that would "go" with it. She chose chocolate brown Moda dottie fabric and ivory minky with the baby pink Moda dottie fabric on the handles. (I had to make a tiny quilt with batting for the handles because the brown dottie was so dark that it was showing through the pink dottie.) That minky fabric really is irresistible, isn't it?
I made this one with one of my favorite fabrics - Amy Butler Dandelion Fields in "mist." I decided to try doing a reversible blanket and I put another Amy Butler fabric, Daisy Bouquet, on the back. I would so keep this one if I had a reason to. It's feminine without being over-the-top - exactly what I would want. Hope you enjoy it, Christine!

I learned an important lesson making this car seat blanket: Never use stretch denim. For any reason. The inside of this one started out being stretch denim. I'd walk away from sewing, come back and the denim was bigger or smaller or foldy or something weird. Booo. The red with cream polka dots looks better anyway. (I used a little of the denim on the handles because I ran out of polka dots.)
I think this Raggedy Ann fabric is so sweet, but I don't really know anyone who "fits" it. I ended up using it for my friend, Angie's, new niece. They live in the Midwest. That works, right? :)
We have officially run out of the brown and blue paisley fabric, which I didn't know until Lacy ordered it. AH! She asked for something "classic" for her little baby boy's car seat and trusted me to find the right fabric. That's a lot of pressure. I like it, so it must be good, right? :)
(I need to remove that airline sticker from my car seat model. How tacky.)
