Happy Drawing Blanket

I had been looking forward to using my leftover Ed Emberley Happy Drawing Fabrics for some time now.  (The original quilt is here.)


 
And then the weirdest thing happened.  I got them from my stash, and I thought I'd just catch up with a few blogs before starting to sew.  I went to my friend Yzo's blog over at Chez Roo and low and behold, she was using a different version of the very same fabric at exactly the same time.

And it gave me an idea.  I just loved the idea of appliquing individual animals.  So I thought I would add a couple to the solid patches of my blanket. 




 

And I thought this sleeping blue frog on the back would be quite fun too. 



Don't they look cute!  Thank you so much Yzo for the inspiration. 


Here is the finished blanket;



And here it is keeping one of my son's dinosaurs warm.


I think I love the porcupine most of all.  Which one is your favourite?
