All about Fabric Strips-Girl

This blanket was totally fun to do. We wanted something different that used strips. We had several ideas but we decided for the size of the blanket and the amount of fabric, that this design would be best. There is not a "true" center.
The back of it is solid pieces of purple and teal. I top stitched along the strips' seams for the "quilted" look to hold it together. Instead of self-binding it, I used some of the charcoal/cream zebra fabric. This is also the first blanket-larger than a baby size- that I have rounded the corners for.

The finished sized is approximately 81"x81".  This blanket is going to a young lady who is turning 11 this year, and she happens to be my closest friend, Niki's daughter.

I LOVE the way it turned out!
