Boutique or Designer burp cloths / tag-along blanket

Blue and Green Flowers burp cloth / tag-along
Hot Pink Paisley burp cloth / tag-along

I made both of these to match nursing wraps that I made, but they did not sell with the nursing wraps on ebay. I still have both of these materials (hot pink paisley and green and blue flower) to make other hooter hiders that match. This would be a great gift combo for any new (or experienced) mom:).

It's a lot of fun to make these because I can be creative with fabric and ribbons. My "tag blanket" listing was taken off of ebay because of violation of of Taggies Inc patent. I don't make tag blankets to sell on ebay anymore, but will continue to make them as gifts or requests by friends and family.

I still have tons of ribbon and material left to make tag blankets, so I decided to make a burp cloth with a tag fringe that has three layers - the green and blue flower one has two layers of cotton cloth diaper material for absorbency and one layer of 100% cotton, high-quality print material. I quilted these layers together and added decorative ribbon. The pink paisley one also has three layers, but only the middle layer is the cotton cloth diaper. The other two layers: a pieced together top layer - 100% cotton, high quality pink paisley checkered with a hot pink satiny material, and the bottom layer, a light pink flannel with decorative ribbon at each. All layers are quilted together.

You may think this is rather fancy for a burp cloth, but today's young mom is fun and fashionable. Also, the burp cloth can match a hooter hider and can double as a "tag-along" blankey or an interesting thing for baby to play with and featuring different textured ribbons (or "tags"). A very versatile accessory:).
