One present down - Don't ask how many to go

Poppy's picnic blanket all done in it's crazy pink and red glory. I used knots to quilt it together and I think that they give it a really fun look. I have lined the back with oil cloth which I don't think they recommend you put through the wash but have on good authority that it should be fine. It is quite big 2m x 1m and more than enough room for everyone or lots of dolly tea parties or trips to the duck pond or backyard alfresco dinners. Lets hope she loves it as much as I do.
Sorry I am a bit late posting but my computer decided to die a horrid death yesterday morning thankfully it wasn't too bad and I finally got it back today - yippee but I have had to take the photos at night, I will see if I can get some better ones tomorrow

Such a sweet picnic blanket! The oilcloth is a great idea for the backing, to keep those dolls and little peoples feet dry. I hope your naughty computer will behave now. Would love to see more photos! :)

Well done Cindy, it looks wonderful. I love the bright and happy colours. So we'll pencil in tea and cakes on the picnic blanket at your place shall we ?
