I even looked up directions online.
So it started out ok!
But quickly took a turn for the worse.
But quickly took a turn for the worse.My machine kept pulling the satin to the side. So on some sides I ran off and then had to go over them again. Then in some places I had 1/4 seam...sigh
I had small puckers! 
I had parts where the machine wouldn't push the material through so it has bunched up stitches! 
The corners...oh the corners! Not an even one to be seen after the first kinda straight one...
Such a cute blanket but such awful binding...

I think I'm gonna leave it this way. You know the awful part is that I'm having to hold myself back from running to Jo-Anns to get more fabric, batting and binding to see if practice makes perfect...lol...I should really just go work on James' socks and the Bee shawl....Pictures of that maybe tomorrow(:
Mr Jack loves his toy that his Mama crocheted then fulled for him...

That satin binding is a pain to sew on. I used a walking foot, but it was still hard. For the mitered corners, I used a ton of pins and sewed it down. I think you can see what I did in this picture. http://bp2.blogger.com/_YfXsoxn11eY/RxbKYc1hXxI/AAAAAAAAA5g/MGjiPjZY030/s1600-h/purple+001cr.jpg
The yellow colors is very cheerful. It's a still a great quilt, just don't focus on the little details and enjoy it.
It came out cute!I was thinking about this flannel the other day, thinking it would match the "starry, starry night" baby blankets I am working on for my twin grandbabies to be. I may have to go buy some and experiement, too! :)
It IS a very cute baby blanket. No matter about the binding, that's the toughest part, and the satiny stuff is hard to work with. But, yeah, you should look beyond the binding and be proud of yourself for making a baby blanket!
