Zoe's Blanket

Progress has finally been made with Zoe's blanket. I finally was able to unstitch all the outside stitching that was attaching the front chenille to the back butterfly fabric after it had not sewn up correctly for the third time. Then, I decided the best way to handle it was to hand baste around the entire blanket. So I did. I forfeited a nap time and went to it. Surprisingly, it didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would.
Tonight, I went back and using the regular machine stitched the edge where I had basted, and am planning on serging it on my mom's real serger, hopefully tomorrow, but if I don't make it there tomorrow, then maybe early next week. All that will be left to do then is tack the middle, sew up the turning inside out hole and sew a border so that it lays flat. Maybe, just maybe, if I hurry up on it, the whole thing will be done by the time Zoe's born. Then again, that could be a lofty goal.
