The fabric is a type of minkee and the binding was pre-made and sewn on. I learned a few things. 1) don't sew the fabrics together on the reverse side; just on the front; 2) sew more slowly (I didn't); 3) sew all the way to each edge, so that the corners lay nicely together. It turned out okay, but the next one (if I make another) will be better.
Oh and here's another $1 item for my list. I want to make the top.
We'll see.

The blanket looks great. Love the color.
I dont think your grandson will mind. He'll just love the softness of the minkee and the fact his Nanna made it for him. It looks wonderful!
I havent bought an item for a buck in ages.
Oh, that blanket looks so cozy!
Was the pattern second hand? The cheapest patterns in Australia are $5, and I picked 4 of them from the book the other day only to be told they were all sold out. Most of them are in the $15-20 range here, which is why I usually just make patterns up as I go along. Jealous :)
