I didn't get to this post yesterday, you know, since I have so much to do just sitting around and waiting for this baby to come. Really, that's pretty much what I've been doing. Oh, and baking some cookies. Anyway, I finished this blanket a while ago, but I never got around to posting about it. I made it for Rachel because she used to steal Sarah Beth's blanket and Daniel's, and she would try to steal John's. So I thought she would appreciate having her own. I used such a vibrant color because Rachel has a vibrant personality. She is almost always happy; she walks around with a smile on her face. But when she's not happy, oh, boy! She's not happy! And her moods can change with the drop of a hat, from crying to laughing and vice versa. Honestly, we're not sure where Rachel came from because John and I (and our first two children) tend to be more even-keeled than that. But she makes a fun addition to our family!
The thing is, though, that Rachel doesn't seem to care for this blanket. She hasn't touched it since I gave it to her. I'm not sure what to do now. I guess I'll just put it away and try again later. Maybe for her birthday in January?
For more Finished Object Friday, or to add your own, head over to Fresh from the Chari Tree.

That blanket looks perfect for Rachel! It does look like it fits her personality. I hope she decides that she likes it. :) I forgot about FO Friday yesterday. I have a few finished projects that have been stacking up and I keep forgetting to post them!
Such a beautiful blanket! It is definitely interesting when you have a child whose personality is quite different from the rest of the family - and lots of fun, too! ;)
So beautiful!! I love that color, especially after your description of your little one's personality! :) Hope she takes to it soon!!
