Sewing for Quilt Market - Fuzzy Wuzzy Blanket

I mentioned in the last post that Fabri-Quilt is going to have/might have it now printed minky to compliment this fabric line.  I had intended to have the striped print on one side of these and the printed minky on the other side.

The thing about doing things with BRAND NEW, HOT OFF THE PRESS fabric is that it might not make it to you before you need to sew with it.  That was the case here.  So, instead of the coordinating elephants, it's a SUPER soft bright green minky.

He's such a big helper.

I was going to make another one of these blankets (one for each of the three groups: elephants, monkeys, & bears), but there was only enough of the green minky to do two.

 This pattern went together really quick.  The secret is ironing.  If you sew the binding down on one side, iron it really well and pin it, it's a piece of cake.  And I like cake.  :)
