Sometime back received this small red rectangle and laid it aside thinking it was too small for a blanket, but would certainly be a good start on one. Initially thought it would make a nice center for a Christmas Ghan and I do have some squares appropriate for that; but.........then as I was organizing some stash....I was reminded of Buckeye colors and decided that made more sense for this time of the year. And so, here's a little beginning. I have found the plan gray and the variegated red and gray. Pretty sure there's some dark gray and probably black kicking around somewhere on the shelves with my huge stash. I'll get started with what I've found so far and go from there.
After all, Buckeye Colors are good all year long.
Will keep you posted, as this Buckeye Blanket Grows.
