A Cushion, A Blanket And Now A Bedspread Too!

Since my last post I've made quite a bit of progress with my blanket. Last night I completed the third panel and was finally able to join them together, I was so excited and immediately had to take pictures!

3 Panels Connected

I was speaking to my daughter a week or so ago and when she asked what I was doing, I told her I was making her birthday present. She said she really needed a new bedspread as her puppy had chewed the one she has. I panicked a little and told her she better not let her puppy anywhere her birthday present! I knew I was never going to be able to complete a queen size bedspread by July and I thought "Oh well a blanket and cushion will have to do!"

The next day I was shopping at Aldi and noticed a very basic queen size polar fleece blanket and thought how perfect the colour would match my blanket and cushion, but it wasn't a bedspread and I didn't know if it would be big enough to be used as one.

That night I couldn't stop thinking about it. I thought how easily it could become a bedspread if i just did a pretty purple crocheted edge around it. With the blanket and cushion on top to decorate it, I decided it would complete the set. The next morning I rushed out and bought it. It can be seen in the background of these pictures. I hadn't realised how huge it was until I pulled it out last night - I don't think that simple crocheted edge is going to be as quick to do as I thought!
