It has been a while since I stopped by to update this blog on my progress with the blankets so I figured I better do an update this evening. Over the past couple of days I have received a couple of orders for blankets from the past. I have a request for another of the elephant walk blankets. So that material was ordered and surprisingly it arrived late this morning. I was able to take advantage of my Monday off and laid it out, put it together and completed it. So I can deliver it tomorrow. It is just as nice as the first one I did. I also had a request for a Thomas Kinkade blanket like one I made for my mother for Christmas. I was able to find the material over the weekend and I finished it this morning. It is two identical panels together so each side is the same. It is pictured here:
I also completed the Hot Pepper Blanket. This is a nice large soft blanket. The front is covered with red, green, yellow, orange peppers over a black background. I used a thick piece of black fleece for the reverse side. It turned out quite nice. Below are three views. First is the quarter view, second is a close up detail of peppers and the third image is a quarter view with the flap opened to reveal the black reverse side.
