Notes

A blanket full of roses for my biggest little girl. The blanket was started a few months before her 23rd birthday, but will end up being a 25th birthday present. Better late than never I suppose :0)

A HUGE thank you to Peggy (peggity) for sharing her notes on American terms for the pattern.

Will be making 72 6” squares - 9 x 8

7/10/17 Nearly finished - still needs a wash and a blocking but I couldn’t resist snapping a photo of it all put together!
7/6/17 squares joined - hope to have the border done and wash/blocking by tomorrow evening.
7/1/17 All squares have been completed, now to join them and do a border.
1/8/17 After a LONG break I’ve started back working on these little by little. I’ve also added three more colors to the mix.
4/30/15 so I will be starting these over because I just wasn’t happy with the color combinations (bottom photo), but I’m glad to have decided on what will make me happy! Now to find a few more skeins of Azalea to pull it off…..
