Please Note: We recently noticed that there a couple of similar blanket patterns on Ravelry that we’d like to shout out: Kay F Jones’s awesome Jelly Roll Blanket and Christiane Burkhard’s gorgeous Long Live The Scraps pattern. While there are some design and construction differences between our blankets, we imagine that, like us, Kay and Christiane were also inspired by the traditional Streak o’ Lightning Quilt pattern. We hope you’ll check out their versions, as well, and all of Kay and Christiane’s other knitting patterns, too… Lots of amazing things to knit!
