Some time ago, I was asked by a distressed Grandmother if I could make a replica of her granddaughter's security blanket that had been lost. It was made of cotton and satin squares and had a satin backing and binding. The original was about 24" x 36". Ava and her Grandma were pleased with the new blankie. I enjoyed making the satiny blankie and thought there may be other little ones who like them. With Ava's and her Grandma's permission I am now making the satin blankies and I am calling them the "Ava Blankie".
Gramma's Ava Blankies are approximately 24" x 24". They are made of 16, 6" x 6" cotton and satin squares with a coordinating satin backing and binding. There is NO batting between the layers, so they are very compact and take up very little room in a diaper bag. They are basically for comfort, especially if the little one loves the satiny feel.
They are machine washable and dryable of course.
Blankies are $35.00 each
Also available are 24" x 36" Blankies for $42.00
and
18" x 18" Blankies for $28.00
(The number of squares changes, NOT the size of the squares.)

...from Ava's Grandma... "I wanted to let you know that I received both blankets the other day and I will be sending one of them back tomorrow. Ava loves it....when she saw it, she looked and said in her little two year old voice..."my blankie, thank you Gram" ...it's like we never lost it. You are an angel who has answered my prayers. I really can't thank you enough for all that you have done, your hard work and time and most of all seeing my grand-daughter's eyes light up with joy when I held out her blankie to her. Thank you so so much."

Please note:
I only have the 2" wide satin bindings and cannot make a narrower satin binding at these prices. The time involved is not cost effective. Until I can find a narrow ready made binding I will only use the 2".
