Babette Crocheted Blanket - Update #4
Crocheting a large blanket from beginning to end between the last day of high school and the first day of college is a pretty lofty goal for a young lady. But if you've read my previous posts on this adventure, you know that is just what my daughter set out to do this summer.
Her first day of classes will be next Wednesday, September 2. Would you like to see how far she's come towards reaching her goal?
I just had to put this picture first because it is so colorful! Elizabeth worked out the 22 different colors on this blanket so that no color was touching itself from block to block. And the first round of the border will be a color that is not used in the outside row of any border block! Whew, too much to think about!
So here is Elizabeth's Babette with all the blocks crocheted and sewn together, just waiting for the multi-color border she is planning for it. At this point it measures 57 x 62 inches - big and cozy!
I do believe she will reach her goal and I think that is quite an accomplishment!
Happy Stitching!

That is amazing! All that work along with the thought about color placement just blows my mind.
Congrats to your daughter for doing it, she must be so proud of herself :)
I hope that blanket lasts for years and years.

That blanket took some serious dedication, on her part. It's fabulous and very unique. If she dedicates herself to college as much as she did with her beautiful blanket, she'll get top grades and go far. Awesome work, hon!
