Sweet and Simple

This may sound silly, but I feel more comfortable making an intricate quilt than putting together a receiving blanket.  The simple reason would be because until today I had never made a receiving blanket.  My friend asked me if I would be willing to make one for her since she's hosting a baby shower and doesn't know how to sew.  Why not?

I found this tutorial and went to work.  It was easy, so I don't know why I was so nervous to make it.  I already had green thread in my machine from a previous project, so I didn't have to switch anything except the foot for my wavy stitch.  Easy peasy. 

Now I've got to return to my applique blocks and get 'em done.
