A good friend is due to have her baby at the end of August, and I'd like to make a baby blanket for her new born.
I think I would like to use some fleece for one side (maybe minky?) or maybe faux fur, but I'm not sure what I could use for the other side. I haven't done patchwork before, and I'm not sure I want to (don't want it to be too much work), but I'd like to quilt it (not sure that's even the proper word, what I mean is I'd like to sew both layers together so they don't move independently) and embroider it.
I don't have kids and really don't know what would be useful and what not.
Any advice is very welcome.
