perfect match...

You would have thought that the lovely Tamara had enough on her plate fashioning beautiful bows..however, out of the blue, a parcel turned up on my front doorstep containing this piece of loveliness for the baby in progress...

Tamara chose the colour scheme especially to match the crochet blanket, (draped over the top),  that I am making. (I forgot to take a picture of the back but it in a chocolate brown spot fabric). Such a thoughtful and generous gift - really makes me appreciate the amazing friends I have made via this blog.
(As to her suggestion that if I didn't really like it, I could maybe use it as a playmat or something .....I'm thinking  not!)

By the way the blanket was progressing beautifully- I say was, because once I had reached about the two thirds point, I realised that it had taken on a distinct lean to one side. More of a parallelogram than a rectangle. Don't know what I did, or why I didn't notice it earlier but after a few days of looking at it, I decided to rip it all back to the first five rows . Which I did. So now I am working away at it again, hopefully to end up with a non- leaning blanket!

Thank you, Tamara, for your gift...it will be will used and treasured ( and no doubt dribbled on and covered in baby love!) Oh and happy one year blog anniversary ( Tamara's having a celebratory giveaway so drop by and say hello!)

What a lovely gift for a new baby!! I hope that the parallelogram gets sorted out because it looks great too!

What a lovely baby quilt! Really sweet of her.
You ripped the crocheted blanket? Oh my.
Oh my.
I think you did nothing wrong with the pattern, it does lean indeed. It's not that obvious when making a scarf like I did, but will become more apparent the wider the crocheted piece is...
Oh, it looked SO NICE!!!
I hope to see the finished blanket one day, it'll be such a pretty one.
