The Blanket

Let's talk about my bad procrastination issue, shall we?

So, I started this baby blanket about four years ago.......and then life threw me a curve ball or two (in the form of a some Tainted love followed by a little Fish-boy who shall remain nameless and needless to say, it got put on the back burner along with a few other things - like school....but that's a procrastination-post for another day) 

Anywho.....I did manage to get the construction done this Christmas and was so close to finishing it off when I lost steam again!! What's wrong with me? No, don't answer that..... 

Well I decided if I post it, I will have to get motivated to finish it, right? So here it is.......I was given an odd number of color blocks for the middle and asked to make a blanket around them. (Yep, the blanket is for someone else, making my procrastination all the more shamefull!!) 
The only request is that it be bright and colorful. I chose the rest of the fabric to match the original blocks. It was difficult to get a pattern going with the odd numbers but in the end I'm happy with how it turned out. (The black area in the "plan" is from the fabric I was given.)



 Of course the baby is now four. Yikes! So, onto the knotting before this turns into her wedding present.
