Becky,
Good for you for taking on this challenge. What portion of the blanket is
used in this case to spell out the child's name? For example, is it a
rectangle of 3 inches by 14 inches? Is it in the corner along one edge,
centered along one edge, centered in the middle or maybe the blanket is made
up of squares with 1 letter in each square?
Annette
