I absolutely LOVE the colors you have picked out for this blanket. I love purple and green together. Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern!

What a perfect house warming gift. This afghan is beautiful and functional. This would look wonderful on the back of a couch or chair in the living room or on you as you snuggle on the couch watching your favorite movie. This afghan would also be a wonderful gift to welcome someone to the neighborhood.
