Baby Taggie Blanket

It's funny the little things that you observe while you sit and feed your little one. For example I noticed that Lorenzo likes to rub his little fingers on the tags on his burp cloths. Every single time without fail he would always find where that little tag was. It wasn't until I was on Pinterest that I found that other mommies noticed the same thing with their babies. Someone brilliant, (not I) came up with the idea to make a Baby Taggie Blanket. It was so simple, but it has a purpose. I've also seen them called Baby Sensory Blankets, Lovey Tag Blanket, and Baby Taggie Toy. They were pretty easy to make and really it was an opportunity for me to practice what little sewing skills I have.

To start with I found some very unique Fat Quarters pieces at a great price at our local sewing store And Sew On http://www.and-sew-on.biz/. This is the cutest little sewing store and I strongly urge anyone looking to start a sewing project to check this store out first.
The ribbon I already had from various projects over the years so it was pretty to start. You can change it up and chose different varieties of ribbon. Mine just happened to be all satin. Next I just followed the tutorial below.
