Nora's Blanket

Here is the super secret thing I've been working on since May! Each row has 5 squares on it and each square measures at 12" with a different style and texture! Some were already 12" and some needed an excel spreadsheet to help me map out the increases to get them to measure 12". Click on the pictures to see the 25 squares I did plus, a close up so you can see the details. There are also links for the squares that had patterns and instructions.

After they were made and blocked, I binded them together in between and then made a lovely border. The best part of making a blanket has to be that it keeps your lap and legs warm while you are working on it.

And the result was well worth all the work and love that went into it! To say she loved the blanket would be an understatement. It was a birthday gift for my beautiful niece! I had so much fun working on this for her. I hope it keeps her warm and comfy always!
