My star attempt

[rsisland]

I loved the star blankie but wanted one a bit bigger for my four year old nephew. I happen to have black and white in my stash and knew it would be easy to buy more to match if I needed it ( and of course I did).

 

Here's the first half on a twin bed:

 

 

 

and on my king size bed after it was finished:

 

 

 

It started to get a little wobbly the bigger it got, but all my granny type things usually do. The color combo drove my hubby's eyes nuts. Now I need to make one for his 5 yr. old sister and for the new baby due later this year so all the kids match somewhat.

That turned out so cute! I bet he will love it!

WOW! I love that black & white! It makes the eyes go squirrelly!!! How cool is that! Another great idea for my youngest sonf or Christmas! He would love that. Thanx for the idea of using black & white!

[Terri/LadySorce]

That is really nice. Yes, I love the way it plays with one's eyes.. lol

[craftygirl]

The star is one of my favorites too! I like your black and white sequence!

Looks great! I made one of those for my dd and I am making one for the blankey brigade right now. I love that pattern. Wish I could make one for my 3 yr old....but she has one blanket that she uses....don't even try to give her another one. It's a care bear blanket I sewed with that silky edging to it. Maybe one day she'll let me make her another blankie....lol.

 

Awesome job!

Love the star blanket, but just can't look at the Black/White stripes. Makes me dizzy:spin

[MLLORF]

Nice, great gifts!!

[yarngal]

It looks great! The black and white give it a nice illusion kind of effect.

[sallymander]

Man, that is cool.....kinda like an optical illusion or something. I love your color choice!!!

[faithpa76]

That looks neat in those colors! Would make my eyes go buggy if I looked at it to long lol but it's neat.

Thanks everyone

 

 

Now to finish up the other two..I think I've become addicted to this pattern. I was thinking of making my first thread project in the star pattern. I think it might look nice as a doilie under a candle. What do you think ?

 

A rug for a kids room would also be awesome. Oh the many things that just pop into your mind when you're not looking...

[Frangipani]

Great job! I'm in the process of using up my black and white stash as well! Should have thought of that pattern!
