I FINISHED THE BEAST!!! lol Finally got it all done! I may try for better pictures another time, but…. here it is!!!
I left pillows off the bed so you can see the entire blanket. There is the same amount of drape on the other side of the bed, but I didn’t take a pic as it was awkward trying to get one. I kind of wish I’d made it wider, but overall, it still looks good!
Because of the overlay mosaic design, it is a VERY thick and VERY heavy blanket. The border turned out lovely, and is solid of opposite color on the back. As you can see in a couple of the pictures, the back of the afghan sort of looks like a blurred reverse image. It is actually stripes, if you look carefully. It appears this way due to how the rows are constructed. You could turn it over, however the back is not as smooth as the front side.
I took awhile working on this, but I’m still very happy with the results. Let me know what you think!
