Brian just got called to be a Provo temple worker. He loves it and it is such a wonderful opportunity for him. He works every Saturday from 10:30-4 so he is gone most of the time and I hardly ever see him. At first I told him that we should have a baby so I'm not always home alone; however, we're not quite ready for that big of an adventure yet so I decided to make a baby blanket instead. :) It has been so much fun and so much WORK! I saw a puff quilt once when I was a little kid walking through a boutique with my mom and I wondered why they were so dang expensive. Now I know why. I would have charged a million dollars if I would have made a blanket that big.
So, it's little, but I had to add more and more because sewing all the squares together made it pretty darn small. I put about 75 hours into it and finished it in just under a week. It did go fast, but I would work on it every second I had so I could:
A- finish it
B- get feeling back in my fingers (pins hurt!)
C- get over my love/hate relationship with it and be done!
D- vow to never make another one ever again!
Well, here it is. :) I'm pretty fond of it!

That's WAY cute! I can't believe you finished it so fast! If I ever get around to having free time, I may just copy your idea!
Love the blanket! I so need to learn how to make one of those, but it seems to be very time consuming... I am glad I came across your blog - I hope things are going well for you.
How cute!!! I want one. Your blanket is much better than the ones I make out of fleece.
cute, stacy!!! yeah, i made a shaggy jean quilt for carson before he was born because i thought they were SO cute. But oh, my!!! SOOO much work!! That blanket will go with me to the grave :)
