Neville’s Baby Blanket
Background
This "companion" blanket was made for Neville, the puppy William Hendricks brought home November 2013. Bill has been a recipient of one of Barbara's quilts; but, this baby blanket was really not a "companion" blanket as it was made all by itself just for Neville — just because he was someone new in Bill's life. And it was very clear Bill was in love.
Can't say for sure, but I expect when Neville gets a little older, he may be the recipient of another. Just thinking…

A lot of loveable faces, eh?
Barbara hadn't planned to do any stitching in the center of the blanket. But, I felt a puppy baby blanket needed a little support, so I convinced Barbara to throw in some stitching to bind the center of the blanket together. Nothing fancy, but hopefully able to withstand puppies and washing machines.
