That turned out 'fantabulous' @minnaloushe I am not a person to stitch anything, ever.
Appreciate the beauty of these blankets, something you treasure forever, my husband has one his Gran made it must be all of 50 years old, it comes out every winter with very fond memories of his Ouma.
Thank you, @joanstewart. That is the idea behind making a blanket for each of my parents' grandchildren. I hope that it would evoke memories of my parents, and not necessarily memories of me...
