Flower Garden Blanket

I managed to wash wool between showers and get on with finishing the blanket. It's a bit bigger than I originally envisioned, 160 cm by 115 cm. The squares pattern is here and the tutorial for joining is here. The yarn is wool that I spun. Cream is the natural colour, the other colours I dyed in the microwave.

Quilting clips worked well to keep the strips together for joining:
Pins tend to disappear into the work and be difficult to find again. I don't want to post it off to my granddaughter with pins in it!

    That is the prettiest granny square quilt I have seen. I love how the flowers are 3D.

      No it's not queen size, that's an optical illusion. No, I don't plan to make the bag.

    I love your Flower Garden "Afghan" Blanket. It is lovely and what an amazing accomplishment for you to have also done all the wool yarn.
