Here is the finished baby blanket! And yes, the seams are SUPPOSED to look like that. When I showed it to Dad, he thought it wasn't done yet, but it is indeed completed. :)
I took pictures of both sides of the blanket - the top side is to the left, and the bottom is on the right. It really was an easy project to make, and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!

Oh, I have wanted to do a quilt like that for ages! How did it do in the wash machine? I hear they can produce a lot of lint when you first make them and then wash them? Any tips?

AWWW Sharah, it is so cute! You did a nice job! I particularly like the underside, I love plaids and checks. Keep up the good work! Hey, that sure didn't take very long.

Sarah, it looks so cute! I like the way the upper side looks. Didn't seem to take you too long...those kind of projects are great!

What an adorable, cheerful quilt! I love the ruffly effect on the top side.

I love it! The seams on the top are great like that; it makes it seem softer and more homey. My husband would be like your dad, though! ;)
You did a great job on it!

Sarah, that is a beautiful baby quilt. You will have to teach Alli how to make one. Can't wait to see you all:)

Oh Sarah, that is soooooo sweet. I do so admire ladies who know how to sew! (One day I'm GOING to learn!!) Great job. The baby who sleeps under it will be very blessed. :)

I think my next quilt project (if there is one) will be very much like yours! The simple squares must be fun and relatively easy to make up. Well done! Have you bound it already as well?

Thanks everyone for the comments! :)
Cindi, I made the mistake of putting some of my PJs in the washer with the blanket, and I had to pick off tons of little white thread. It really got everywhere, so wash it alone. I don't know anything else but that. :)
Mrs. Trent, I just copied the blanket that Mrs. D. had at church last time we were there. :) She told me how much cloth to get, etc.
Sherrin, it doesn't have a binding. At least, mine doesn't...I'm not sure whether it should or not. I just clipped around the edges just like I did with the seams. :)
