I just popped over from the "Gilly Makes...Hi. I just popped over from the "Gilly Makes" blog (I found it on the "Grow Your Own Blog" party). I was scrolling through your posts and this one stopped me in my tracks. Your wonderful blanket reminds me of a blanket I started as a child. I had made a big stack of various colored granny squares that I had planned to eventually join together to make a blanket. Somewhere along the road, I decided that I didn't want them anymore because they didn't match. I gave them away or donated them. I've been thinking about them this past year and wishing I still had them. The collection included my first ever granny square from when I was in elementary school. It was bright pink. The squares in your blanket may all be different and the colors not exactly what you would have chosen if you'd planned for it to be a blanket. But, there's a magic in this blanket that can't be described. What a treasure! Oh...and that bed is beautiful! I'm off to look at more of your posts. Have a wonderful weekend!Acorn to Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334558675705027610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863830173943577763.post-7945651902763535692013-02-09T08:33:53.352-06:002013-02-09T08:33:53.352-06:00I love your sampler blanket!
