Taggy Blankie for little man~

While at my favorite fabric store (Quilters Market) I purchased some plush fabric to make a taggy blankie that I've had my eye on for quite some time now (thanks to Pintrest). After procrastinating my creation finally came to fruition! Here are some pics.

Here are the instructions~

Materials needed:

Two pieces of minky or plush cut into a 19" square
Assorted ribbons in a variety of colors & textures

Construction:

Round the corners of the plush or minky by tracing around a cup or a curved surface & trim away excess

Cut the ribbons into 3" lengths. You will need about 24-27 pieces

Lay one piece of fabric with right side up, fold a piece of ribbon into a loop with raw edges together & pin to one edge of the material with raw edges of the ribbon even with the rad edge of the plush/minky (looo wukk be toward the center of the square). Continue around the square, positioning the ribbons on all four sides of the square. Baste around the square at 1/4" to secure the ribbons. Lay the second square of plush/minky face down over the first & pin squares. Stitch around the blankie at 1/4" seam, leaving 3" opening to turn blankie. Turn. Stitch the opening closed. Top stitch around the outside edge 1/4" from edge to secure layers.
