When the weather turns chilly it’s a great time to make a super snuggly aleph-bet cuddle blanket for a little one in your life. This second tutorial based on the Sew Jewish book features:

For sewists new to applique: Detailed description and demonstration of techniques for getting beautifully finished machine appliques.
For even experienced applique sewists: Special tips for working with fleece.

And while working on the tutorial, I hit upon this tip: For maximum gift box impact, fold the blanket into thirds to determine where to place the appliques.
