I loved the way this blankee turned out but I had a hard time deciding on what to do with the edges.  I tried several overcast stitches but didn't like the look they produced on the minkee side.  I found the perfect blanket binding by accident and it matched the fabric to a tee.  It finished off the edges nicely and matches the colors in the fabric.  I wouldn't go much bigger than this (it's 24" by 30") since the two layers are not bonded to each other. 

The blankee was made for a coworker who is expecting her first baby in mid to late August.   The pictures were taken using my DDs new stroller and pack&play.  I have more of this color to make one more blankee.  I think I can find someone to use it - in a few weeks that is!
