I have in my closet, a large pile of baby blankets of various shapes, sizes, prints and materials, because for many years, I've been on the hunt to find "the one". A blanket that I could emotionally connect with and that could be "my" blankie to provide comfort and familiarity in a world that leaves me with severe crippling anxiety.
After so many years of searching, I began to dispair of ever finding the connection I was looking for, until I remembered that my two favourite stuffies, who provide much security in their own right, were both made by me.
I decided to try my hand at making my own security blanket, but I knew in order to forge the bond properly, I couldn't just take two squares of fabric and slap them together; that requires no effort, no time or craftsmanship. I had to be artistically proud of the end result, and so, below is the fruit of my labour.
Thirty six-inch flannel squares trimmed with satin ribbon and with a solid print backing made of the white and purple flower fabric, two squares of which appear in the patchwork (they were to replace two squares of the green elephant fabric that I cut too small). I chose the mint green satin ribbon particularly, because for reasons that I can't articulate, that colour seems to have embedded itself in my memories of my early childhood, and so I knew it had to appear on the blanket. I will admit to being pleased with the end result, if I do say so myself.
