I remember everyday my mom trying to make the bed when I was little and my cat would go underneath the covers and get the zoomies and mess it all up.

Haha....I can just imagine! I took this photo before I got Madison and I'm sure if I let the cat out while I was doing this, she would have been right there too....they're funny that way.


BTW, I like the shoelace tie better also....It's the way I learned how to make them and then later on, I saw someone else who had done them with the "balloon" tie method and thought they werent' very attractive. I like the way you can see the contrasting fabric along the knot with the shoelace ties. I think I also switched the direction of the knot every other one too.....does that make any sense? I tied it so that the knots would end up facing one side of the blanket and every other one would face the other side of the blanket. It's difficult to describe what I mean, LOL.....I love making these though.

It is so cute! It has stripes and fruit on it too...geez, I so love it!

You better post pics when you have that bed made - that is going to be ADORABLE!

We'll I just went on EBAY and bought loads of strawberry shortcake fabric and Ragedy Ann fabric and it is all your fault. . You should have never told me where to get it. I went hog wild..hehe..

I do mine like this too, instead of switching the knot, I just tie every other one on like the print side of the fabric then flip the blanket over to the solid color side and tie the left over fringes.

I just use scissors...it's so easy really. The mat is made out of cardboard and I've had it for a really long time, so I'm not sure what they cost, but I'm pretty sure they're really cheap! I LOVE it though and it really helps with keeping things lined up! I got it either at Hancock or Joann's. They fold up, so it's easy to stash them away too!
