I finished this baby blanket this weekend. My part was to sew the strips together and put a border on. I like this edge because it ties the squares all together. And because I like to crochet.
This orchid has been so neglected. It's had bugs, been thirsty, been ignored and has not been re potted in ages. And it has done so beautifully. It was my first orchid and in an attempt to be a great orchid grower I maimed it, over watered it etc... and it never produced a bloom. So I ignored it and it has rewarded me handsomely. It has seven blooms and a few more on the way.

wouldn't it be great if more things were like that in life....when ignored, they would bloom.
Lovely, lovely border. I'm mulling different border ideas for my ripples -- it's always great to see what someone else has done. And Lisa about said it all -- ignore and bloom. Good luck!
Love that the blanket was just a bunch of squares and you made it into something that will be loved and treasured. So cool about the orchid - enjoy it!
another wonderful project completed by wonderful YOU! how fun to be the one bringing it all together! and...what lisa said. :)
