Millie Rose

Millie Rose was born during Spring Break & she joins a sister who is in my son's Kindergarten class & also a little brother. I have always loved white...it is so crisp & the pink with it makes it just so beautiful to me. I put her name centered across the top & centered between the chenille zig zag as well. The pink floral print is on the back side of the blanket & folded over here so you can see it.
I wanted to use the rose stitch for the border, but it is a really big stitch even when it is set on the smaller setting. I found out the hard way that it was hard to keep going straight since the material moves so much doing the design. So I modified the border & tried something new that turned out soooo cute. I only put the border on the 4 corners of the blanket & down to the chenille on the top. SOOOO pretty to bring in her middle name without stating it outright. I loved this blanket!
