    I have 6 nieces, ranging in age from 3 to 12. I decided I was going to make each of them something for Christmas this year. Well I asked my oldest niece what she would like, she said a blanket and it had to include the colors pink and black with skulls. Yes, you read right skulls! So, I found the perfect fabric and got to work. I even made a skull applique for it. I think it turned out great. Thank you for looking!

    It's twin size
