Charm Square Baby Blanket

I've wanted to make this blanket for quite a while now, so when I found out our friends were having a baby I knew this was my chance! I got the pattern from Thimbelina's blog. Since they knew they were having a boy I figured there was no reason I couldn't get most of it done ahead of time; I would just have to wait on the name. The little guy decided to come early though, as a matter of fact, I had just pulled out the flannel to start cutting when I got the text. Turns out I didn't have to wait for the name after all!

For his name I wanted a font that would be easy to applique, but still look cute. After going through several fonts I decided to use Gypsy.
