It's done and it looks great. No sense in what ifs unless you're planning a second one using the same colors. So pat yourself on the back, Sandy. Good job done here! <br /><br />As to the baby afghan, I think the browns and greens overcome the pink. In the photo it is so very light, could almost be an off white. That said, some dads won't have anything to do with pink for their little boys. That is something you couldn't possibly know. If they are homeless, I think they will truly appreciate whatever comes their way. If your husband doesn't see pink, then it probably is not too out there for most guys. I'm glad to see something besides pastels for a baby. Pastels are nice, but babies grow up all too soon. It's nice of you to think of making something that can last a bit longer.

I don't see any pinks in that second photo at all. Besides, I think a lovely chocolate brown suits just about any skintone, right?<br /><br />I see what you mean about the white, but it didn't really jump out at me so I think it's fine. I suspect side-by-side non-matching greens would have bugged me, so the white's safer.Minding My Own Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946752212001968413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-35138434841470158602012-02-26T15:25:04.496-05:002012-02-26T15:25:04.496-05:00Bountiful harvest is lovely, I like the off White,...Bountiful harvest is lovely, I like the off White, looks clean and crisp.<br /><br />You do an amazing job, and no I can't imagine being homeless and expecting, it must be a very scary prospect for that couple. Your Blanket for them is just perfect and the care and love gone into it will I'm sure transpire in your work.

I tend to get hung up with shades that don't really match up,like you might have ended up with if you had used the dark green border. The white sets things off nicely. <br />Baby Boy blanket is genius to me, just how you have it layed out in the photo. It will be large and cozy warm--and no, I cannot imagine being pregnant and homeless. This blanket will be a true blessing to that mama.<br />*smiles* Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-12365234412071339002012-02-26T11:17:26.817-05:002012-02-26T11:17:26.817-05:00Bountiful Harvest turned out just wonderful I thin...Bountiful Harvest turned out just wonderful I think and I kinda like the off white in it.<br />I really love your baby blanket and how you mixed it up. I used to hate having everything blue when I had the boys. I don't know for girls there was always a better choice of colours so I love that this is different and I think it will work wonderfully. The thicker heavier weight is an excellent idea, much better to sunggle a little one into.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237973730193381512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-27790825532400764782012-02-26T11:10:33.100-05:002012-02-26T11:10:33.100-05:00I think bountiful harvest is beautiful just the wa...I think bountiful harvest is beautiful just the way you did it. You have a knack for putting blankets together!<br /><br />The baby blanket looks great. I like the way you have it planned out and it's so nice to have a blanket that's bigger than the average baby blanket. It will certainly wrap that child in warm comfort for a long time to come --thanks to you, you do great work :)hakuchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974995854081488052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-2066975692920577962012-02-26T10:49:54.296-05:002012-02-26T10:49:54.296-05:00Thanks Marie Anne, yeah, it's a boy.

Another choice with a bit more color to it might have been ok, but thee's nothing wrong with the way you did it.<br /><br />I think the baby blanket is going to look great with whatever edging you use. I don't think the pink shows too much either, not from the photos here. Do you know whether they're having boy or girl, or you just need to make sure it's appropriate for either?Marie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838079550433002806noreply@blogger.com
