Finished...daisy blanket

Here is a photo of the finished daisy blanket. I didn't get a chance to take photos of the join-as-you-go process, but maybe next time... I was at school this morning signing up my son for kindergarten... so just getting this blanket finished was a monumental task. I really like how these last two blankets have turned out. They are so vibrant; and these little daisies make me smile. Hope they send a smile your way too!

Field of daisies in progress

Almost finished with the squares. I'll use the join-as-you-go method to put these together. I might try to take some photos of the process, so you can see how it's done.

Hope everyone is enjoying their President's Day!

23 more to go...

So here's what I came up with for my next blanket. I think it's sweetly similar to the cute little dress. I interviewed a bright green edging, but in the end I think I like the magenta best. Check back for more photos...

Something to brighten your day

Hopefully this blanket will bring a little sunshine to your Friday!

 

I'm always happy when I finish up a project, but my mind is also racing towards the next. I wish my hands could work as fast as my brain sometimes. While searching for inspiration for this afghan, I came across a cute little girl's dress (also Lilly Pulitzer) that I'm going to use as my next muse. I already see the finished blanket. Still thinking spring over here at tillie tulip...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope everyone has a special Valentine's Day. xo

I finally get a chance to watch last Sunday's Downton Abbey!

Which reminds me, my sister-in-law sent me a link to a Downton Abbey personality quiz. The character I came up as was "Anna Smith". What character are you?

Ka-bam!

Well, here is the pile of squares for the latest blanket. An homage to Lilly Pulitzer (and some on-line imagery that screams spring and sunshine, among other things). Definitely need the sunglasses for this one.

Finished!

I finished up my custom order today. I really like how the blanket turned out. I probably wouldn't have paired some of the colors together if my customer had not requested it, but I love how they look together. I hope she likes it too...

       

 I'm inspired to look outside of my noggin at tangible color pairings for my next creation. I love Lilly Pulitzer (if only I could afford her), and I found this grouping in an old post over at the french tangerine. It'll be a Pulitzer/tillie tulip mash up...stay tuned...
