Just finished my daughter's college blanket

Well, I didn't get my daughter's college blanket finished before she left for college, but a couple weeks late isn't too bad. I had a hard time finding a black blanket. I had the mule head appliqued and the letters ready to roll. Finally Walmart put out their fuzzy blankets. I can't wait to give it to her when she comes home.

She is going to love it. I love the mule mascot. It is adorable.

She'll love it! Nothing like a custom made quilt to feel the love of home while away at college!

Clever idea.....I am glad it has her name on it so it won't get stolen.

Very special regardless of when she gets it. Besides getting ready for college is a stressful and exciting time so getting something this special at a later date is best. Way ta go, mom.

It looks wonderful! You did a good job!

Thank you all. I wanted to make something unique and I think this is very different. I'm hooked on applique, but these were some big letters and it took awhile. My eyes are sore from appliqueing black stitches on black. It is so hard to see.

It is wonderful, everyone is going to want one.

That's just too cute.

What a wonderful thing to do for her. I love the dots for the applique instead of a solid, so cute

Thanks Linda. I also graduated from UCM in 2008 with my master's degree. I went to the extension center in Lee Summit for two years. It is a nice college and close enough to home.
