Hi Friends! I hope you are all doing well! The days have been getting warmer where I live and it makes me so excited for spring and summer! One of my favorite things about spring is all of the pretty flowers start to bloom! I just love all of the colors and beauty!! So I thought it would be very appropriate to have my first spring pattern be a flower blanket. This blanket is easy and is just made up of hexagons. I think it would look beautiful in so many different colors! This blanket is about twin size, but it would be very easy to turn into a baby blanket by making fewer hexagons. I also have a Youtube Video showing how to make a hexagon if you would like to check that out. It will be linked down at the bottom of this page. I hope you enjoy!
