Apple Blossom Dreams: March 2022

pattern.

I made a Bed Runner.

The fun does not have to stop.

I'm even toying with making another one.

I would use the Blossom-Circle-Square Afghan and

make a baby blanket or a lap blanket.

Come play along!

The Blush Blossom Baby Blanket

pattern that I used, has been modified and is out for testing,

it is named the "Spring Blossom Bed Runner."

It's 97" (246 cm) long and this is how far it reaches on

each side of a queen-sized bed without box springs:

Plenty long enough for a king-sized bed.

It's not too late to crochet-a-long...

Springtime Crochet-a-Long "Lite" | Plain Granny Triangles Done

The project I picked for the

Springtime Crochet-a-Long "Lite"

is coming along.

These are the triangles that will go along the edge.

34 white triangle grannies were needed and are completed.

This is how they look with the other motifs:

See how they square off the blanket?

This layout with the triangles keeps the

squares at a diagonal.

Yay!

It's now time to join all the motifs.

The pattern I am using is the Blush Blossom Pom-Pom Pillow

pattern.

I am going to make a Bed Runner.

(Perhaps with pom poms.)

I've had a few inquiries about pattern for this bed runner,

and that may be forthcoming if I can get it together.
