It’s no secret, Elise loves The Backyardigans. It’s just about the only tv show that will actually hold her interest. I mean, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny are cool, but they don’t even compare to Pablo’s endless hunger for fruit and yogurt or cheese and crackers. On a recent trip to Hancock’s she went crazy upon spotting a bolt of Backyardigans fleece. It was 52% off (I know, 52%…weird) and once I placed it in the cart she gave the bolt a big hug and proceeded to snuggle the fleece bolt while I finished picking up the other items I needed. How could I not buy her enough to make a good sized throw blanket. That being said, I’m really hoping that she likes these backyard friends for a few years to come, because this blanket will definitely cover her for at least 2 more years. It’s approximately 54 x 60 and that’s huge for a 31″ little girl. It also took about a pack and a half of satin blanket binding to bind the edges. Instead of finishing one and starting another, I sewed two together and made it one huge blanket binding. Overall, I think the blanket is cute, it’s even more cute being drug around my house by a toddler.
