So the blanket squares all arrived in early April and we had an unprecedented extra three squares! I made an executive decision to leave three of them out, either because of size, or colour-matching, but I made sure that at least one square from every contributor is in the blanket. (I sent the extra squares to Courtney in case she gets inspired to do something wonderful with them.) Anyway, I was contentedly and unhurriedly working away at sewing the blanket together when the little munchkin made her appearance ten days early! Immediately after the joy of hearing of her arrival, I thought, "Man, I'd better get going on that blanket!" And so, one day after little Leah's appearance, the blanket was finished and sent off.
Since I'd like the blanket to still be as much of a surprise as possible, I'm only going to post this pics of the ends I trimmed off after stitching the blanket together and weaving the bits in. The blanket should arrive next week, and I hope it has a long life of cradling Leah in warmth and love.
