This is one beautiful pattern to create an heirloom baby afghan that will be appreciated down through the generations. How impressive a shower gift this one will be! If you really want a stunning baby blanket, back this with a piece of satin (satin is quite inexpensive, but very impressive and silky for baby, too) and sandwich a piece of batting between--Warm and Natural or a polyester batting. Just so very special!
