Guide Review - Charles Craft Receiving Blanket - Pre-Finished Item Suitable for Cross Stitch

This blanket is incredibly soft. The wide satin binding transforms it from plain into pretty. The blanket is a nice size. You may choose to stitch a design on one corner, but I think a centered design would look nice too. The entire surface of the blanket is suitable for stitching.
