Shreddie blankets using vintage chenille bedspreads


I used many pieces from vintage chenille bedspreads to make this "Shreddie" baby blanket. I call it shreddie as the seams are exposed on right side. Seams are cut every half inch then they frey. Printed the child image on photo fabric sheets then added trims. Some of the trims I cut up further and added it as it it were the flowers she was dropping. I lined the back with cotton fabric.
POSTNOTE: USED IRON ON TRANSFER PAPER BY EPSON. CAN BE FOUND AT A COMPUTER STORE SUCH AS STAPLES. YOU MAY ALSO CHECK AT CRAFT STORES.
