This is from a pattern I bought shortly after I started quilting. I loved picking out all the greens for the wreath, and enjoyed the challenge of piecing in a 3-D bow. Fun! I hope Trash likes it!I've given so many fleece blankets away that this afternoon I decided to make one to keep. When I finished, I gave it to Val to curl up in while she was re-reading Harry Potter, not a bad way to spend Christmas Eve. One side of the blanket has stripes with snowflakes, the other has penguins bedecked in winter gear.
I'm pleased to say this blanket worked its magic in record time. Enjoy your nap, Val!

Love your wreath -- I made a "spring" version of that pattern a few years ago! Happy Holidays and stay warm!
Happy Holiday! I love the wreath pattern. Was it hard? Please pass along holiday hugs from us to Jocelyn and Val!
What, Val, got tired of watching TV? :)
Merry Christmas! looks like a perfect way to spend the holidays - curled up reading Harry Potter under a homemade blanket.
Love the wreath. Is there anything cozier that polar fleece? I have made dozens of pairs of PJs from it. My daughter lives in them except when she has to go to work.
Awwwwww.... blessings to you and yours!! I'm off the the quilt studio for an afternoon with my fabric (stairs or no stairs)...
Oh yeah! Love the fleece blankets! great gifts!B's grandma made her one also for xmas... Stay warm! Hope you got a nap too! I had a brief nap in "The Tale of Despareaux" but hey! It was after eating a huge meal, what do you expect? :-)
Great wreath. I made the same pattern years ago when it was a mystery in Quiltmaker magazine. And the blanket is great, too. I always say a quilt "works" when the person underneath falls asleep. :-)
The wreath quilt is gorgeous! I'm sure your partner will be thrilled with it!
the fleece blanket looks cozy no wonder val fell asleep. That looks like a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve. I was frantically wrapping gifts! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family!
