Love is . . . . .
trying something new
discovering a new pattern
and
a sumptuous palette of rich earthy colour
this week I have had the lovely pleasure of beginning a wedding gift
this calls for something special
so after much discussion with the bride to be
we arrived at a plan
the lovely Willow block from 200 crochet blocks by Jan Eaton
and a gorgeous selection of Stylecraft Special DK
I am in love with the pattern that shows
when working solid colour blocks
colour makes my heart sing
you cant imagine how happy this blanket is making me!
so this week I will be making 4 sets of the 12 shades
plus 1 more
for a blanket of 49 squares
they will be joined with dark brown and a deep lace border
ooohhh I cant wait!
Come back next week for a progress update!
till then happy hookin
my crochet pals!

This is going to be amazing! Very lucky couple! xxx
That is such a lovely patter, then colours are lush! Will make a gorgeous quilt.
Beautiful colors and I love the block you selected.
Heather the pattern on that block is beautiful, I think you're right to do solid colour blocks so that the pattern is not lost. It's also great that you and the bride-to-be got the chance to sit down and choose together. This will be a gorgeous piece of hand made crochet that will be cherished for years to come.

It's gonna be gorgeous! Can't wait to see! I love that square, but I've never made it myself.
Oohh, how nice are your squares. I have the very same book and that Willow square was the very main reason why I got the book, however I have not come around to making it yet. . . too much to crochet and so little time !!
Love your blog and so I'm here to stay !!
