The Minkee Blanket

So this is the before shot. We decided to lay out all the pieces before beginning with the sewing. This took place in either February or March, can't remember for sure.

Because the material was so difficult to work with, the only solution we could find that would sufficiently hold the fabric together without slipping was to do the following. Place one sheet of paper on the ground, put both the pieces of material together on top of the paper, place another sheet of paper on top of that, then STAPLE it all togeher. This way the staple would not slip, neither would the material.  Genius right?  We know! =)

What a hard working Man!

Finally, the finished product. Several weeks of endless paper scraps and staples, the blanket turned out perfect. Andy is 6'2'' and with him stretching in both directions he could not touch both sides, which was the main goal to begin with. Perfect!
