Beautiful Blogger Blanket of 2012 - Squares from Texas, USA!

 I used to have a friend called Velma at school and I have never met anyone with the same pretty name since... until I 'met' (in a bloggy-land sense) Velma of 

Made By Velma.  Velma lives in Texas, USA! 

Velma has been trawling the internet for patterns for her squares and she has sent us 4 for The Beautiful Blogger Blanket of 2012... You can read more about the making of these squares here....

                                 

Velma chose 3 colours from I Love this Cotton - Rosey, Sage and Mullberry.  I have never seen this cotton in the UK.. but it is beautifully soft.

The first square was found on Ravelry.  

It is a free download by Silja Devine here

I have to admit that I really love this square!

This pattern can be found at Stitch

Nation and is by Debbie Stoller.  

It is called The Mixed Berry Tarts 

Throw! It is a free pattern.

Velma adapted / shortened this

 pattern from one she found at 

Red Heart, it is called 

'Flower Tiles Afghan'. 

Finally the fourth looks the 

most complicated..

This square is made from the 

StarFlower Granny Square pattern. 

Velma found it via Pinterest at 

Crafty Valley
