One more attempt at sewing


My baby brother, Skyler, is in the Army. I saw this panel one day and thought he would like it. My idea to make it into a blanket that was long enough he could actually use, was a good idea. I let Scott talk me into the camo for the back of the blanket. I was thinking of going a nice solid red or blue that would match the front, but he talked me into the camo. The blue is a much better choice than the green he picked out first! I think that the blanket is perfect for the Army boy/hunter. I hope he likes it as much as I think he will. I wish I were more confident in my sewing skills. I get ideas like this, and then stress about it the whole time I am making it. I'm sure Scott wishes that I would quit getting ideas so he won't have to hear "Honey, what do you think of this" or "Tell me the truth, how bad is it?" I apparently never learn!

UPDATE!!!


taking it out of the bag, he thought it was a "cool camo" blanket, until he saw the front

I think it's safe to say that he likes it
