Baby blanket for little M

This blanket was originally planed for my own little girl. But as I mentioned, I decided to do something really special for her, so this one goes out to the new baby of one friend of mine (her older sister got this blanket last fall, she is the goddaughter of my boyfriend, so we are really attached to this family).

Little M arrived yesterday afternoon (3 weeks early, but everthing is all right), so I was able to stich her name on the backside yesterday evening (her name was a secret till then, I really love this idea, we are going to do the same), and I'm really looking forward to give it to her when they com home from hospital.

So here are some pics of the process and the outcome, hope you enjoy it!

Cutting, cutting, cutting, and not even all the used fabriques...

I originally wanted to shout outside in the garden, but since it´s been raining all week, this desk has to be my shouting space....

I really have to work on my embroidery stich...
