Baby Bunting Blanket

 

So, where have I been? Well, summer happened, that’s where I’ve been! We started with a dry spring around here, but then it quickly started to rain, and it didn’t stop for days. Weeks, really. Flooding was happening everywhere, and the ground was a giant sponge. Every time we got 5 minutes of sunshine, everybody raced outside to mow their lawns and do any other yard work that they could. Because of all the rain, our planting season on the farm ran late, and then it was a mad dash to get everything in before it was to late to do it. I’ve had this blanket done for awhile, I just haven’t had the time to get it photographed and get the pattern written down on here.

 

About that. It had been so long since I finished the blanket that I almost lost track of what I did to make it. Panic! But no worries, here it is.

My finished blanket measured 32″ x 36″.
