I backed the blanket with Amy Butler Full Moon Polka Dot in Lime.

    It’s beautiful! I love the choice of the backer fabric. Also, it looks super warm.

    I love it. It would have taken such a long time. Your colour combinations and positions are a delight.

    That is so neat. I love the different colors and patterns and how well they mix together. It must be really warm too!

    i love quilts.. of course i end up just taking little scraps, sewing them together into some odd shape or pattern and then forgetting about it. i must have at least ten little unfinished patchwork monstrosities around here..

    Your blanket is breathtaking! Did you join your squares by hand? What kind of thread did you use? Perle #5 cotton, or a wool yarn? Would you suggest using two strands of yarn, if you used yarn? I have the felted sweater material, but I am unsure of how to proceed from here…Thanks!
