Sweet Baby Play Mat

I came across this tutorial for a children's play mat. We recently had wood floors installed and baby blankets just aren't cushy enough for my little lady to roll around on. I used the tutorial except I made some changes. The biggest change was that I used the thickest batting I could find (be sure to use your walking foot if you choose this option) and I used soft flannel fabric on the top and bottom instead of the designer cotton/chenille. I bought mine at Joann's with 40% coupons so I spent very little - maybe $20 at most to complete the project.

Oh, I also put my little girl's name on the blanket. I'm addicted to applique.
