My own blanket grew so big that it's difficult to take a good pic of it. My apartment is definitely too small. ;) So here is a progress pic.

 

 

To make it fit a single bed I added ripples to top and bottom and still have 3 rows to go before I can start with the edging and border. Like I said this picture doesn't do the blanket justice, as it looks much better in real life with all the patterns and the vibrant colors.

Sooooooooo, let's see what Zelna worked out for us conecerning edging and borders!

We decided to surprise you with a choice of two borders and two edgings which you can mix and match as you please!
