A mom in Toddler Moms was complaining that it's hard to find a good toddler size blanket for the crib. They are either too big (for babies) or too small (for big kids and adults).
A lot of moms use throws to cover their sleeping tots, but last weekend I came up with a great solution: I sewed four of my daughter's baby blankets together to make a bigger blanket.
These were the soft, cotton knit Carters blankets she had as a baby. They are the perfect weight for summer, and I often wished they'd come in a toddler size.
The result was functional rather than pretty, as the blankets were all different colors and patterns. But, now I get to wrap her up in memories. And for the price of a needle and a spool of thread, I saved a few bucks!
