Self Binding Blanket

I know I have seen these for years, but never could figure out how to make them. Then I found this tutorial on Everyday Mom. It made perfect sense. And so here is my first attempt:

My daughter loves it and thinks it is hers. I guess it will be :)

What can you do with a 10 inch Stacker or Layer Cake? Well, the ideas are unlimited. Here are a couple of quilts I have made with Riley Blake 10 inch Stackers: This Alphabet Soup Girl quilt is a Double Slice Layer Cake. It was so quick--I think I made it in 2 hours. This Dainty Blossoms quilt is my own pattern. I have made some baby quilts using charm packs, so I decided to use the same method, but with 10 inch squares. I absolutely LOVE the chocolate brown quilting design. And my daughter loves her quilt. And this pattern in my shop is made for 10 inch squares too:

I can't believe I have waited this long to make a decorative pillow. It was so fun. My 4 year old daughter helped me fill the pillow. I think we will be making more in the near future--so says my daughter :) And the pillowcases were done in 20 minutes--both of them. What could you make with some cute Peak Hour fabric?   Inventory Reduction Sale going on until August 31!

So last week, a dear friend of mine had a birthday. I was having a hard time coming up with something to give her. And then I was looking through my patterns and came across this one: My friend is on the PTA and volunteers at our school a lot. So I decided to make her one. Here it is: She loved it! It was very easy and it only took 30 minutes to make. Now that I have made one, I notice lots of people wear them for their jobs. My kids have asked me to make them for their teachers. You can make one too. Check out my Etsy shop for the pattern :)
