How to Sew a Minky Baby Blanket with Satin Ruffle Binding

This baby blanket is super soft. I made it with zebra print minky fabric and fluffly baby pink minky. I also used satin fabric to create a boutique ruffle.

I finally gave in and bought a camera after I lost my last one. I just got in on Wednesday and have not had much time to play with it. It is a point and shoot olympus stylus 7030. So far it has been working really great. I had a camera similar to this one before so I already know the basics of it which makes it easier.

That is fabulous! Please don't come and see my pathetic sewing attempt that I was so proud of a few minutes ago. ;)

Stopping over from blogfrog. I look forward to poking around a bit!
