Input Needed!!!

Hey Friends I am considering venturing out into the craft businness again but need feed back and input on it.

I designed the most adorable play mat for my nephew (pictures coming) but to help you envision what it is.

Imagine if you may:
1) A patch work quilt (Daxtons is African/jungle themed) 12 squares are each made into a quite book page with something interactive to do. (One of his has an elephant head were he can play with a trunk made of fleece, another elphant where he can play with the ears, a giraff with the neck having ribbon tags coming out, a tree were he can play with fleece backed leaves, a vine with a fleece monkey on it) You get the point. Each square is designed for development and fun tactile and dexteric development) The other quilt squares are made of fun colors and prints.

2) An oversized taggy blanket. Along the edge of the blanket are ribbon tags and they are mixed into the patch work design

3) Included plastic chain lops to attach toys to the blanket

4) The blanket is a little bigger then receiving blanket size... its great for tummy time

My questions are:
1) Would you purchase such a blanket (at this time I would have design options and fabric choices but you would have to pre-order..off set the cost of the supplies)

2) It probably costs $50 (costs easily goes down once I get more ordered) or so to make...how much would you be willing to pay?

Can you please ask friends to visit this post to help me decide if its worth doing?

Thanks,
Kendra

One question...are they two different things? The book and the blanket? Or are they somehow attached to each other? (I guess that was three questions :))

They sound AWESOME! I would love to have those. The price is a bit high for my budget, but I don't think it's all that high for what it is. I could easily see it costing that much in a store. Though anything you can do to lower the price would widen your market, especially in frugal Utah.

Do you enjoy doing them? Do you have pictures? It sounds like SUCH a great idea!
