"Cowboys" themed blanket

A really good friend of mine from high school requested a "blue king sized blanket" and then later added to his request "can you make a Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Red Wings block?" I was all maybe. Well due to finding supplies, we decided to scrap the Red Wings and just go with the Cowboys, SO...the blanket was born. I LOVE it!

As stated, the finished size is a king and I ended up with 5 Dallas Cowboys blocks (1 in each corner and 1 in the center).  In the top left corner Cowboys block, I stitched in a date that is very significant to my friend and his girlfriend.  Each block has batting sewn into it to make it a "heavier" lightweight blanket.

Sierra Bagley's blanket

So, this blanket was supposed to be a queen size and ended up being a king. I used the "cascading" reversible style for the pattern but we chose to do only one color on the back.

I finished this blanket about a month ago but Sierra's birthday wasn't until today, so I can finally post pictures of it!

This has been my absolute favorite blanket to sew partly because I LOVE her and her family to pieces but mostly because I LOVE the colors!

So here are some photos of the overview, a close up, and one with Sierra receiving it-which I don't get recipient photos often :-)
