Super Huge blanket labour of love

[secretstasher]

I started this blanket in November last year hoping to get it done for Christmas. (I was a little ambitious) My Mom had been complaining of the cold so I asked her to choose some colours for a blanket and these were the colours she chose.

Well 576 granny squares later I came up with this. I got the idea from the Happy Yellow house site. Only I tweaked it a bit making 4 inch squares.

It measures 8foot square enough for a king size bed and some hang over the sides.

Here it is laying on our bed My Mom was impressed and it is now travelling back to Wales with her after she spent a week with us.

That afghan is stunning and I can't believe you put 576 squares together. I give you a ton of credit for finishing it and the end result was well worth it. Mom must have loved it, great job.
