Cars blanket for my little buddy

I wish you could all feel how SOFT this is!!!  They have this really expensive material at Madsen's (the polka-dot one) that I have always wanted to use, but not pay the price for!  I finally had the perfect project for it.  I bought this remnant of Cars fabric like 2 yrs ago for dirt cheap.  My oldest was over it, but about 3 months ago my 2 yr old fell in love with all things Cars.  I thought the fabric was a little cheesy, and there wasn't enough for a full blanket, so I decided to cool it up with a strip of this (totally affordable if only buying 1/2 yd) and brown minky on the back. I am sooo in love with it, and it is so soft, did I mention that already?! 

The real test was if Owen liked it...uh yaahh!  He asked me almost every day if I had "worked on it" -he went with me to buy the fabric, so he kinda knew what was going on.  He was soooo excited when it was finished.

I love how he points to all the characters and tells me their names.

He has snuggled it to sleep for every nap and at bedtime since he got it.  I'm way into this "quilt" pattern and can't wait to splurge on some more ridiculously over priced fabric for the new baby!
