A big fantasy

Usually, I do smaller blankets, 29"x38" or so.  If I do larger blankets, they are without adornment.  So this one was a bit of a change for me.  Took about 2 weeks of embroidery/applique work.






It's about 60" x 80" and is the largest embellished blanket I've done so far.  Both my kiddos wanted to keep it.  One day I will make blankets for them - maybe for Christmas this year??
