Taggy blankets. I just love making these. Almost caught up with the backlog while my V3 was at the dealers. All of them have the same backing of a very jolly unisex fabric with dashing knights and princesses in towers plus some dragons. Thanks for looking

Thanks for your lovely comments. I make my taggys with a cuddle fleece usually one the side I embroider on and a cotton backing. Both are washed before making up, then I cut some of my ribbon stash and pin round the edges. I have a massive collection of ribbons. I try to use a selection of different widths, textures and patterns. Until my eldest grandchild was born I thought they were a affectation but he would find tags on our clothes and played with them so I started to make them for him and for friends who became grandparents to give and to the many friends who became parents. I sew the ribbon in place at least twice to make sure its very securely sewn. Often I make one to match the baby blanket that I often make as a present too. Have a go and have fun as the babies we make for love them and the mothers think its great to haves sometthing with their childs name on, especially if the child has a unusual name which means one never sees anything with their name on. Lastly the finished size is between 20x20 cm and 25x25cm

Martine I wish I had bought more of the fabric but hindsight is a wonderful thing. I will measure the taggys and let you know. The blue is larger I remember that much
