finished: the flower garden

I finished up the blanket I was making for the baby. I know this is crafty-mommy info, but seriously, real photo is NOT happening in the next few days. Now, afterwards, sure. but not right now.

Final dimensions are 48x38. Each circle is about 2" when finished. Its 11 blocks by 9 blocks (a block being four circles sewn together to make a square). SO, 99 total blocks, four squares each. I don't wanna post the whole number of circles because it makes my head spin a little.


This is just a closer up view of them all sewn. the holes in between look really big, but keep in mind, the circles are just 2 inches, so its kinda like an afghan with holes. Not really hole-y. I decided I'm not going to back it onto anything. I just like how it is. Maybe with another one. I love that this is 100% handsewn. I did every last bit of it by hand. Wahoo!
Decided to officially dub it "the flower garden." my friend carrie said that is what it looked like, and I agree. So glad it turned out and wasn't hideous (like I thought it would be about halfway through).
