* Stroller blanket madness!
Posted on June 24th, 2007 by becket. Filed under Sewing/Fabric Crafts.
Hi! Becket here again. I’ve been madly sewing all sorts of things for the baby (stay tuned for future posts!). My most recent projects have been stroller blankets.
This one I made from a vintage Marimekko-like fabric that I found on eBay. This one will be a “winter” blanket because I put red flannel on the back and a light batting inbetween. I quilted a diamond pattern in white thread across the pattern - then bound the blanket in red bias tape.
The second blanket is a “summer” weight blanket of quilted squares. Many of these solid fabrics are vintage that I picked up recently at a church thrift sale. I couldn’t believe how soft these vintage cottons felt! I decided to put a couple of green squares in just to cut down on the pink cutesy-factor.
To finish it off, I tied a pink ties in embroidery thread in the middle of each square.
And yet I feel to make one last stroller blanket - but this one is still a work in progress…
I love this fabric of pears and apples As you may be able to see, I’m applying bias tape in lime green around the edges…

That Marimekko stroller blanket is to die for! I have a bump on the way and would love to make something like this with some beautiful thrifted fabric I have (not marimekko though). What dimensions did you make it?
