I was very much inspired to make this quilt looking blanket when I saw it posted in Pinterest. I tracked the pattern down on Ravelry and it was produced by Atty Van Norel. You can obtain it from her Ravelry Store if you too are inspirect to make it here.
I used Stylecraft Special DK matching the colours to a painting I have recently purchased to hang in our lounge.
The pattern was well written and easy to follow. When it came to joining, I found the simplest method was to use my stitch markers and pin a row of motifs together with these before stitching any together. This enabled me to ensure that I didn't have any two of the same colour or shape within the same circle or adjoining circle. Having said that I did have one or two mishaps and had to take a few apart! I soon released not to sew in the ends until the very end then it made it easier to undo.
I made a lap size blanket and it is now draped over the back of the armchair. This blanket took approx 6 weeks to make, on and off.
