Receiving Blankets

My first project with the serger was going to be receiving blankets for my sister. (Turns out after talking with her that she has a ton of them, but ah well, they're made. She doesn't know I made these yet.) I picked some fun fabrics for these. I did limit myself to 4, because I felt like I could make a ton of the blankets.

I used this tutorial for the blankets:

Super simple! Yes, there are still some mistakes & need to work on straight lines, but it's all good. Of course, the Head Mouse needed to be included in my gifts somewhere!

I did cut them down after washing them & rounded the corners ahead of time. I'm not sure if it really helped at all, but it was done.

I need to figure out how to end stitches without cutting off the starting stitches. Not bad for a first attempt.
