For her second child, Linda has requested that I make her an "HEIRLOOM" type of blanket. She says that her daughter loves her 'mowly blanket' so she must have another for her second child. Well, I took a crochet class, became obsessed with the ease and speed of granny squares and went way overboard with color work and created the log cabin below. Then I decided that it might not be heirloomy enough. No was it as gender neutral (the colors are navys, blues, green, cream and a touch of lavender)
So, I made the yellow one above (which looks more yellow than it actually is) and now I can't decide which one is more heirloom. How do you define "heirloom"?
Please help me decide which one is more heirloom by leaving a comment!
THANKS!

I vote that the yellow one goes to Linda. It looks more traditional and lacy, etc. The Log Cabin is fabulous, though. That picture really does it justice! It's beautiful.
Well done.
Well, I think they are both amazing and I am utterly embarrassed that I used the word "heirloom" in such a demanding way....oh well, I will blame it on the hormones. We can't get through the night without the "Molwy" blankie and I am sure that for Part Deux it will be the same way. I love them both! Love...Lindster
I think that the baby would love the multi-colored one right away. Regardless, "Mowly-two" is sure to be a favorite. What I want to know is how you make time to be so crafty!
