A few months ago, I started on this patchwork blanket. I had never done anything similar but always wanted one, so I thought I'd simply give it a go. I cut what felt like a million squares, washed them, ironed them, added some embroidery to some, sewed them all together and then, in the middle of all this, my overlock went kaputt and started making stitches unknown to man. Needless to say, this kind of put a damper on the entire project, so this blanket has been lying around unfinished for months. Since my overlock is now working properly, I decided to finish it. It's definitely not the straightest or the most perfect blanket I've seen, but it truly is 100% hand made and there is so much work and love behind it, I almost don't care about the imperfections.
Charlie is also very happy with it - she claims it gives the bed room that extra umpf, whatever that means.
