My Kaffe 'Fusion Blanket' is finished!
Remember?
It's the 'crowing' project I began just after Christmas.
No?
Okay,
it's my very own creation
using Kaffe Fassett charms
and a mix of crochet & sewing
"Crowing"
This lovely little blanket
is made up of 48 charms sewn together
back to back
with blanket stitch run around the edges at 1cm intervals.
The crochet
proved to be a little trickier though,
On account of me making it up as I went along.
Not the best idea ever.
But
I persevered and now have a
spiffy lap blanket
that's a perfect fit for a cot or pram.
That's right,
I am bringing 'spiffy' back into play!
So there you have it
The Kaffe 'Fusion Blanket'
What do you think?

I would love to make one of these, but have never made a quilt or blanket before. I'm fairly new to sewing, and am even newer to crotcheting, but I am in love with this quilt and want one of my own!! Do you have a tutorial somewhere for this quilt? I think it's one of the most beautiful quilts I've ever seen!

Oddly enough, I made a blanket earlier this year that I (privately) *also* called a fusion blanket! It too combined fabric and crochet but the concept was a little different as it was a crocheted blanket backed by a sewn one and quilted together. Here's the link: http://prayingwithmyfeet.blogspot.com/2012/06/pink-crocheted-and-quilted-baby-blanket.html
I really like this idea though!

I loved this when I first saw this - and made one with a "VW Van" theme for a baby blanket for friends. Thank you for a fabulous idea! http://ravel.me/TwistedSts2/kf

Would you mind sending the same to me?? Looked at the crochet chart and almost passed out! I'm a knitter at heart, but can usually tackle crochet, if it is in the written form. Lol!! This pattern is AMAZING, BTW....thanks so soooo much for sharing. I can't believe I have a way to combine fabric and yarn now!! Yay rah!:)
