My mom made this! Isn't it lovely??!?! She's been crocheting for as long as I can remember and I'm 36 :) This was crocheted with a transitional yarn. It was mostly black, but also had white, pink, blue, and purple sprinkled in there This is my bed which is a queen size mattress - We do have a deeper mattress due to our topper. BUT just a general idea of what this blanket may look like if you want to use it on a queen size bed. I love the contrast with the ivory bedding which makes me think this would be cute as a throw on a light colored couch. This blanket would just be a great addition to your blanket collection... anyone else have one??!?! because I DO LOL
